Israeli jets have attacked the Gaza Strip for a fourth day, with raids on a number of Hamas government buildings and security installations.
Medical officials in the coastal enclave say air strikes early Tuesday killed at least 10 people.
The UN says about 320 Palestinians have died since Saturday.
Four Israelis have been killed by rockets from Gaza.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for an immediate ceasefire and condemned both Israel and Hamas.
Meanwhile, the Jewish community in Jamaica is supporting the government of Israel’s heaviest bombardment of the Gaza Strip in decades.
Honorary secretary of the United Congregation of Israelites in Jamaica, Ainsley Henriquez, in defending his motherland’s move, said the Israelis were simply defending their citizens.
He said Hamas did not want to continue the truce and have been firing rockets into Israel.
Across the world, however, there has been heavy opposition to Israel’s latest move, with protests across the Arab world and in Europe.
