The violence continues

Saturday saw a bloody day in the Gaza Strip.

Six Palestinians, including a 14-month-old baby girl and her eight-month pregnant mother were killed as Israel bombarded Gaza and factions in the coastal enclave fired hundreds of rockets over the boundary in return.

Overnight a 58-year-old Israeli man was killed when a rocket hit a residential building in port city of Ashkelon.

The Israeli military has said it expects the violence to continue for days, and has deployed extra forces around the Gaza Strip.
