Fighting in Israel is raging two days after Hamas fighters breached the border from Gaza in an unprecedented surprise attack.
Officials say the death toll in Israel has passed 700.
Israel has been pounding Gaza with airstrikes and formally declared war on Hamas Sunday.
More than 400 Palestinians have died, according to the health ministry in Gaza, and medical care has been complicated by Israel cutting power to the territory.
The full scale of the Israeli response remains unclear, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has predicted a "long and difficult war,"
and a military spokesperson hinted the country may try to take full control of Gaza.
