Israel steps up Gaza offensive, kills senior Hamas figures

(AP) — Israel is pressing ahead with a fierce military offensive in the Gaza Strip. It killed as many as 10 senior Hamas military figures Wednesday and toppled a pair of high-rise towers housing Hamas facilities.

The Islamic militant group showed no signs of backing down and fired hundreds of rockets at Israeli cities.

In just three days, this latest round of fighting between the bitter enemies has already begun to resemble or exceed a devastating 50-day war in 2014. Like that previous war, neither side appears to have a plan for ending the fighting. The conflict has also triggered the worst Jewish-Arab violence inside Israel in decades.
