Gaza air strikes kill over 100 as manhunt unfolds in West Bank

ISRAEL LOOKS OUT FOR THOSE BEHIND ATTACK THAT KILLED PREGNANT WOMAN
-
Palestinian rescuers reported more than 100 people killed yesterday in Israeli strikes on blockaded Gaza, where a US-backed organisation said it intends to begin distributing aid by the end of the month.
In the occupied West Bank, raids were ongoing and roads blocked after Israel's military chief vowed to find the perpetrators of an attack that killed a pregnant Israeli woman.
"Ninety-four martyrs have been killed in Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip since dawn today," civil defence agency spokesman Mahmud Basal had earlier told AFP.
The toll was updated later.
Intense shelling all night
Amir Selha, a 43-year-old Palestinian from north Gaza, reported "intense Israeli shelling all night".
"Tank shells are striking round the clock, and the area is packed with people and tents," he said.
Most Gazans have been displaced at least once during 19 months of war between Israel and Hamas.
Israel blocked all aid from entering Gaza on March 2, before resuming operations on March 18, after talks to prolong a six-week ceasefire collapsed.
