ISRAELI JETS HIT GAZA, DESTROY TOWER HOUSING MEDIA OFFICES

GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP: Israeli air strikes pounded the Gaza Strip Saturday, killing 10 members of an extended family and demolishing a building housing international media outlets, as Palestinians fired back barrages of rockets. On the sixth day since the conflict escalated, the death toll rose and violence also swept the occupied West Bank as a US envoy prepared to hold talks with officials seeking a de-escalation. Israel’s fighter jets struck several sites in the densely-populated Gaza Strip.
