Middle East: Gaza crisis: Fresh fire exchanged as violence continues while talks start in Cairo

The Israeli army and militants in Gaza are continuing to trade fire, with the round of violence that has followed Israel's killing of Hamas's military chief showing no sign of abating.
Israel hit 200 sites overnight, including PM Ismail Haniya's office.

Gaza militants fired dozens of rockets into Israel, including one at the city of Tel Aviv that was intercepted.
