At least 140 killed as Israel launches air strikes in Gaza Strip

At least 140 people were killed and 200 wounded in Israeli air strikes on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip today.

Militants in the Gaza Strip fired rockets into southern Israel, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. The Israeli army had put communities near the border on alert.

Israel's air force fired about 30 missiles at targets in the Gaza Strip, and a police spokesman said the air strikes destroyed most of the police headquarters in the region.

Police chief Tawfiq Jabber is reported to be among the dead. The Israeli military confirmed they had conducted strikes, saying they targeted "terrorist infrastructure". The defence force said in a statement that it would continue, expand and intensify its operations "as much as required".
