Death toll in Gaza rises

Israeli air strikes have killed at least 227 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during the past ten days, the local Ministry of Health has reported. Of those killed, at least 64 were children,  38 were women and 17 were elderly men. 

At least 1,620 people have been wounded, the ministry said. 

Meanwhile, the Israeli military has just said that its air strikes have killed 150 members of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements - a figure that does not seem to line up with the Gaza health ministry's death toll report. 

Rocket fire out of Gaza has killed a total of 12 people in Israel, two of whom were children.
