Death toll crosses 1000 in Israel and Gaza following Hamas attack
About 1,000 people have died in Israel and Gaza after a massive co-ordinated assault by Hamas militants that began on Saturday and the following retaliatory action by Israel.
The death toll rises in the conflict between Israel and Gaza. Seven hundred Israelis have been killed in an unprecedented series of attacks by Hamas militants, with more than four hundred Palestinians killed in retaliatory air strikes on the Gaza Strip.
Many Palestinians say they are now living in fear of their lives.
Rescuers say they've found more than 250 bodies at the site of a music festival, the first area attacked by Hamas.
