Wednesday briefing: Warning over escalation of Israel-Gaza violence Warren Murray
Hello, Warren Murray with your first look at Wednesday’s news.
Israeli jets and Palestinian militants have traded fresh airstrikes and rocket fire with the death toll rising to at least 40 since unrest broke out early on Tuesday, including 35 in Gaza and five in Israel. Israel carried out hundreds of airstrikes in Gaza and Palestinian militant groups fired multiple rocket barrages at Tel Aviv, Beersheba and other central Israeli cities.
Among targets has been a 13-storey tower housing apartments and the offices of officials from Hamas, which collapsed after it was hit by an Israeli airstrike. Israeli aircraft also attacked another high-rise building in Gaza City. Five warning rockets were fired from a drone to alert people in the nine-storey block beforehand.
