Israel strikes south, central Gaza, as war enters 100th day

Communications and Internet services were down for the third day running, complicating the work of emergency and ambulance crews trying to help people in areas hit by fighting.

Fighting was concentrated in the southern city of Khan Younis, where Hamas said its fighters hit an Israeli tank, as well as in Al-Bureij and Al Maghazi in central Gaza, where the military said several militants were killed.

The military also said its forces destroyed several rocket pits used by Hamas to fire missiles at Israel.
