Israeli forces and Palestinian militants on Wednesday continued to engage in the largest conflict between the two groups since the 2014 war.
On Wednesday, Israel killed as many as 10 senior Hamas military figures and raised a pair of high-rise towers in airstrikes amid the country's fierce military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
The Islamic militant group also fired hundreds of rockets at cities in Israel. In the past three days, Hamas has fired at least 1,500 rockets from Gaza into Israel, according to Israel Defense Forces.
