Good morning,
Israeli warplanes have launched what appeared to be the heaviest airstrikes yet on Gaza City since the conflict broke out a week ago.
The attacks rocked the city for 10 minutes and were more intense, covered a broader area and lasted longer than the raids 24 hours earlier in which 42 Palestinians were killed. Hamas has continued launching rockets from civilian areas in Gaza towards civilian areas in Israel.

To date,
10 people have been killed in Israel, including a five-year-old boy.
Joe Biden may find himself increasingly isolated in his resolute defence of Israel, writes Julian Borger, the Guardianâs world affairs editor.
