• Israeli-Gaza – latest updates

More than 300 people have been killed and hundreds more injured as Israeli military forces hit dozens of targets across Gaza early on Tuesday, in effect ending the increasingly shaky ceasefire that had halted violence in the devastated Palestinian territory since mid-January.

Palestinian health authorities reported a total of 326 deaths by 9.30am local time, seven and a half hours after the strikes began.
