In southern Israel, Hamas gunmen were still fighting Israeli security forces in several places 24 hours after their incursion in the early hours of Saturday, both sides said, as more rockets were fired from Gaza, sparking air raid sirens.
More than 300 Gazans were killed when Israel responded with one of its most devastating days of retaliatory strikes.
