THE death toll from
Israeli air strikes on Gaza has risen to 100, Palestinian sources say.
The
latest deaths were of two people in a car in the Bureij area on Friday, they
said.
Israel
has carried out hundreds of strikes since launching its operation on Tuesday to
stop rocket fire from Gaza. Militants there continue to fire on Israel, causing
damage and injuries.
The
US earlier offered to help with a truce in a call to Israel's PM.
The Palestinian health
ministry says in addition to those killed, 675 people - mainly civilians - have
been injured.
Israel
says "dozens of terrorists" are among the dead.
Overnight
in Gaza, an Israeli air strike on a house in Rafah killed five people - three
men and two women - the health ministry said.
It
said a second strike killed a girl in Rafah, while one militant was killed when
his motorcycle was hit north of Gaza City.
In
Israel, three people were injured, one seriously, when a rocket hit the petrol
station in Ashdod on Friday morning, Israeli officials say.
Three
rockets were also shot down by Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system over Tel
Aviv, the Israeli military said.
The
Lebanese military also confirmed that militants in the south of the country
fired three rockets into northern Israel in the early hours of Friday and that
Israel had shelled the area in response. No injuries were reported.
