Gaza City: Israel hardened its campaign against Gaza on Sunday, warning Palestinians in the north to flee after marines mounted a ground attack.
As world powers prepared to meet over the spiralling bloodshed, the Palestinian death toll from the punishing Israeli air campaign hit 166, with another 1,120 people wounded, the emergency services said.
Despite increasing calls for a ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military was hitting Hamas “with growing force,” warning there was no end in sight. “We do not know when this operation will end,” he told ministers. Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights said most of the victims were civilians, putting the number at over 130.
