Israeli jets have for a fourth day attacked targets linked to the militant Hamas movement, which controls the Gaza Strip.



Officials say a number of government buildings and security installations were hit.



Palestinian officials say 10 people died in the latest attacks, taking the death toll to over 360 since Saturday.



The United Nations says at least 62 of the Palestinians killed so far have been women and children.



Israel says it will continue its air assaults on Gaza in an effort to stamp out militant rocket attacks.



Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says the attacks are the first of several stages of military action.



Meanwhile, the United Nations is calling for an investigation into the attacks, which are causing heavy civilian casualties.
