GAZA CITY (PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES) - Israel carried out waves of retaliatory strikes in the Gaza Strip on Sunday after Palestinian rockets hit Israeli cities, in a deadly escalation that has shown no signs of slowing and raised fears of war. Three people were killed in Gaza rocket and missile strikes on southern Israel on Sunday. Rocket fire and Israeli strikes continued into Sunday evening. The Gaza health ministry said the dead from the Israeli strikes included a 14-month-old baby and a pregnant woman, 37. Four Palestinians, including two Hamas militants, were killed after two Israeli soldiers were wounded in a shooting during weekly protests on the frontier.
