Israeli planes attack Gaza targets
Smoke is seen rising on the Gazan skyline as Israeli forces carry out a heavy round of air raids on the Strip.
Meanwhile rocket sirens go off in areas of southern Israel near the Palestinian enclave, as Gazan terrorists attempt to return fire.
Media reports on the Gazan death toll vary from 15 to 16, including seven people killed on a strike on a house earlier in the day.
