ISRAELI air strikes killed at least 48 people in southern and central Gaza today, half of them women and children, health officials said.

European foreign ministers and United Nations agencies called for a ceasefire, with alarm rising over the worsening humanitarian crisis.

Tensions were also mounting in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where three Palestinian gunmen opened fire on morning traffic at a highway checkpoint, killing one person and wounding five others, Israeli police said.
