[Reuters][Gaza/Jerusalem, May 17] - Israel and Gaza's ruling Hamas militant group faced mounting international calls for a ceasefire in hostilities that entered their second week on Monday with no end in sight. The Israeli military said a Hamas intelligence complex was among the targets. Ten people have been killed in Israel, including two children, Israeli authorities say. Jordan's King Abdullah said his kingdom was involved in intensive diplomacy to halt what he characterised as an Israeli military escalation. The Israeli military said civilian casualties were unintentional and that its jets attacked a tunnel system used by militants, which collapsed, bringing the homes down.
