Sunset explosions on the Gaza Israel border
- 10 years ago
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)
STORY: Explosions were seen over Gaza at sunset late on Monday, despite growing international pressure for a ceasefire.
Dark smoke rose high into the air and rockets rained down, as fighting continues for a seventh day.
Israel kept up its air and naval bombardments of the Gaza Strip, as Palestinian militants resumed rocket attacks on Tel Aviv on Monday after a 24-hour lull in strikes on the Israeli commercial capital
The military said it had shot down a drone from Gaza, the first reported deployment of an unmanned aircraft by Palestinian militants whose rocket attacks have been regularly intercepted.
The use of a drone would mark a step up in the sophistication of the Palestinian arsenal, although it was not immediately clear whether it was armed.
Around half a dozen Israelis have been wounded since the start of the week-old offensive, which Gaza health officials say has killed 169 Palestinians, most of them civilian
