What is going on between Israel and the Palestinians?

Hamas militants have launched dozens of rockets at Israel after Israeli air strikes killed senior commanders and felled a multi-storey building in Gaza.

The escalation of the fighting, which began on Monday, has prompted the UN to warn of a "full-scale war".

At least 65 people in Gaza, including 14 children, and seven people in Israel have been killed since then.
