Since sundown Monday, 26 Palestinians — including nine children — have been killed in Gaza, most of them by airstrikes, Gaza health officials said. AdvertisementA house in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon is heavily damaged by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip. Israel carried out dozens of airstrikes on Gaza, including two that targeted high-rise buildings where militants were believed to be hiding. An earlier airstrike hit a high-rise elsewhere in Gaza City as people were saying dawn prayers, residents said. The army said a rocket made a direct hit on a seven-story apartment block in the coastal Israeli city of Ashkelon.
