Intensive Israeli shelling killed at least 35 people and wounded more
than 150 in southern Gaza on Friday, medics said, shattering a fragile
truce only hours after it began.
AFP correspondents said an
artillery barrage of the city of Rafah was ongoing, preventing medics
from recovering the dead and wounded, after the army said militants had
resumed rocket fire against Israel.
Gaza militants fired rockets
and shells over the border as a three-day ceasefire that began at 08:00
am (0500 GMT) was shattered.
An AFP correspondent reported fierce
fighting in the Rafah area, and Israel's army warned residents to stay
in their houses as it "pursued terrorist elements".
