Video: Palestinians protest as Gaza offensive takes its toll As cross-border violence between Gaza militants and the Jewish state continues for a fourth day, dozens of Palestinians gathered in the West Bank city of Ramallah, to protest at Israeli air strikes on the coastal strip. Israeli aircraft pounded Hamas government buildings in Gaza on Saturday, including the prime minister's office, after Israel's cabinet authorised the mobilisation of up to 75,000 reservists, preparing for a possible ground invasion. Officials in Gaza said 38 Palestinians, half of them civilians including eight children and a pregnant woman, had been killed in Gaza since Israel began its air strikes. Three Israeli civilians were killed by a rocket on Thursday. Rocket fire by militants into Israel resumed after dawn following a relative lull overnight, but the number was still lower than on the previous three days since the start of the offensive, an Israeli military spokesman said. Around 400 rockets have fallen in Israel since Wednesday and around 240 were intercepted by the Iron Dome system. The Israeli military took delivery of a fifth Iron Dome anti-missile battery on Saturday and deployed it in the Tel Aviv area, the army said, underscoring concerns over the range of Palestinian rockets.
