Gaza City: Israeli shell fire on a house in Gaza killed one person today, bringing the total death toll to more than 800 Palestinians after one of the bloodiest days of the conflict.
The tank shell hit a home in the southern city of Khan Yunis, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said, killing at least one man. Nearly 100 Palestinians were killed yesterday, according to figures from emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra, as Israel pressed on with its 18-day campaign to stamp out Gaza rocket fire.

Projectiles fired into Israel have killed three civilians - two Israelis and a Thai migrant worker - and fighting in and around Gaza has killed 32 Israeli soldiers. It is the bloodiest conflict in the besieged Palestinian territory since a 2009 military operation there.
NGOs put the Palestinian civilian toll at around 80 percent of total casualties, including a large number of women and children.
