The death toll from the latest violence in the Gaza Strip has risen to 31, including six children, Hamas health authorities say.
Israel has denied responsibility for at least nine of the deaths, which it says were caused by Palestinian Islamic Jihad rockets fired at Israel that landed short inside the coastal enclave.
The Gazan officials do not say how many of the total killed were affiliated with terror groups.
The Israel Defense Forces says a number of PIJ operatives are among those killed in the multiple waves of strikes that have been targeting positions and facilities belonging to the terror group in the Gaza Strip.
Terrorists have fired over 580 rockets toward Israel since Friday, according to IDF estimates.
