A dead Palestinian Man,, is brought to al-shifa hospital in Gaza City, follwoing an Israeli air strike on July 23, 2014. Eleven women and children were among 17 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza, hiking the overall death toll to 38 in two days, the emergency services said. More than 300 people have been wounded. Israeli forces pounded multiple sites across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, including the enclave's sole power plant, and said it was meeting stiff resistance from Hamas Islamists, as diplomats sought to end the bloodshed. Israel launched its offensive on July 8 to halt missile salvoes by Hamas Islamists, which was angered by a crackdown on its supporters in the nearby occupied West Bank and suffering economic hardship because of an Israeli-Egyptian blockade. Some 630 Palestinians, many of them children and civilians, have died in the conflagration, including a seven-year-old hit by a shell in southern Gaza early Wednesday, a medic said. Some 29 Israeli soldiers have been killed, including a tank officer who was shot by a Palestinian sniper overnight. Two civilians have been slain by rocket fire. Photo by Mohammed Asad
