More than 3,500 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in the Israeli bombing campaign and the vast majority of those have been non-combatants, including more than a thousand children and a thousand women.
The exact number of Palestinian fighters killed is not known at this time.
The bombardments came just hours after Israel agreed to allow Egypt to reopen its northern border with Gaza to allow humanitarian aid to enter the war-torn enclave.
