..."Israel has vowed to escalate its response to an attack by the Palestinian militant group Hamas by launching a ground offensive, as whole Gaza neighbourhoods already lie in ruins.
Key points:
The Israeli military said it hit hundreds of targets in Rimal, where the Hamas-run government is located
Egyptian officials have been talking with Israel and the US about setting up humanitarian corridors in Gaza to deliver aid
The UN says more than 180,000 Gazans have been made homeless by Israeli air strikes
US President Joe Biden pledged support for Israel and issued a warning to anyone who might seek to take advantage of the situation.
Speaking from the White House, Mr Biden called the Hamas attacks "an act of sheer evil" and said Washington was rushing additional military assistance to Israel, including ammunition and interceptors to replenish the Iron Dome aerial defence system.
He called for Israel to follow the "law of war" in its response.
Israel said dozens of its fighter jets struck more than 200 targets overnight on Wednesday in a neighbourhood of Gaza City that it said had been used by Hamas to launch its unprecedented wave of attacks.
Gaza's health ministry said at least 950 people had been killed and 5,000 wounded in the crowded coastal enclave.
Israel's military said the death toll in Israel had reached 1,200 and more than 2,700 people had been wounded."...
