Israel attacked high-profile targets in Gaza on Tuesday, including Gaza's only power plant, whilst Egyptian mediators prepared a revised proposal to stop the escalating conflict, reports Reuters.
Palestinian officials say that at least 100 people have been killed in the past 24 hours.
The Israeli military said that Hamas launched at least 52 rockets towards southern and central Israel, including the Tel Aviv area with 5 soldiers dying in combat overnight, the Israeli military reported.
A new, revised version of a truce proposal initially proposed by Egypt is expected to be presented to the delegation later today.
The latest escalation in the conflict comes as the Israeli Premier, Benyamin Netanyahu, suggested that there would be a 'protracted' struggle against Hamas.
"We need to be prepared for a protracted campaign. We will continue to act with force and discretion until our mission is accomplished," said Netanyahu.
