Israel launched a series of air strikes on Gaza early on Monday to quell Hamas rocket fire, and the Islamist group's armed wing said seven of its gunmen were killed, making it the deadliest day for Hamas since a 2012 cross-border war with the Jewish state. Israeli military authorities confirmed the strikes, saying they “responded to rocket attacks against southern Israel”, targeting 9 “terror” sites and concealed rocket launchers. Israel has denied that the Hamas militants were killed in the air strikes. (Photo by Baz Ratner/Reuters)
