Israel has intensified its assault on the Gaza Strip, bombing more than 150 sites overnight including Gaza’s only power station. Palestinian health officials say more than 110 people have died in 24 hours, bringing the Palestinian death toll to more than 1,100. Fifty-three Israeli soldiers have been reported killed, including 10 on Monday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned of a “protracted campaign” against Hamas even as the United Nations has called for an immediate end to violence “in the name of humanity.”
