At least 232 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli air strikes in Gaza, the health ministry has said.
That's up from 198 fatalities recorded by health officials in the Gaza Strip earlier today.
The latest figures suggest least 1,610 people have been injured in the strikes.
Israel launched what it called "Operation Sword of Iron" in response to Hamas's incursion.
The spokesman for the Israeli military has said it is striking targets in Gaza from the air.
