The Israeli military and Palestinian militants have continued to exchange fire, as fighting entered a third day. Israeli airstrikes have killed several militant commanders since Tuesday, as well as multiple civilians, including women and children. Militants in Gaza have fired more than 600 rockets – killing one person, and sending tens of thousands of Israelis into bomb shelters.

DW correspondent Rebecca Ritters is covering the story for us. She's on the ground in the Israeli city of Ashkelon, just north of the Gaza Strip.
