Gaza rocked by fresh airstrikes after Netanyahu vows to keep attacks at ‘full force’

Monday strikes appeared broader and more intense than Sunday's, in which 42 Palestinians died in single attack

Israeli warplanes have launched what appeared to be the heaviest airstrikes yet on Gaza City, hours after the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, signalled the bombardment would rage on.

The series of attacks early on Monday rocked the city from north to south for 10 minutes and was more intense, covered a broader area and lasted longer than the raids 24 hours earlier in which 42 Palestinians were killed - the deadliest single attack in the latest violence between Israel and the Hamas militant group that rules Gaza.
