BBC World Service - BBC OS, Hamas fires rockets at Israeli city of Ashkelon

The number of dead on both sides in the Israeli-Gaza conflict continues to rise

The number of dead on both sides in the Israeli-Gaza conflict continues to rise.

Thick black smoke fills the air over Gaza following a further day of intense Israeli air strikes. Hamas has responded with barrages of rockets into southern Israel. The number of dead on both sides continues to rise, with little prospect of an end to the violence.

We hear from Israelis and people in Gaza about what they have been witnessing.

Our colleague from BBC Monitoring in Jerusalem explains how the Israeli media is reporting the story. 

Our expert from BBC Verify talks about the material they have been checking today. 

Our Middle East expert in the BBC newsroom answers audience questions about the conflict. 

We also hear from family members of the Israelis who are believed to have been taken hostage by Hamas.
