00:00 Tanks were sent into southern Israel on Sunday, a day after Hamas's lightning assault, which
00:05 killed over 600 Israelis. And Israeli soldiers are still battling Hamas fighters there.
00:11 In revenge, Israel is assaulting Gaza with missile strikes. Dozens of them hit the town
00:17 of Rafa overnight. One of them hit three homes in Shabura refugee camp, killing 19 members
00:23 of the same family, a surviving relative said.
00:27 In the besieged Israeli city of Sderot, this police station was destroyed and scores of
00:32 Israelis were gunned down by Hamas fighters before Israeli special forces were deployed.
00:38 Israel says it's now struck 426 targets in Gaza. Some of them have been residential buildings
00:45 that were flattened in massive explosions. UNRWA, the United Nations Agency for Palestinians,
00:52 said more than 20,000 of them have fled Gaza's border region and headed further inside the
00:57 territory to take refuge in UN schools.
01:00 There's also been violence in the occupied West Bank, although it's been limited. In
01:05 the city of Ramallah, Amr Abed, a 19-year-old Palestinian was shot dead in clashes with
