STORYLINE
Israel carried out early on Monday new heavy airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Deadly violence erupted across the West Bank amid a massive aerial bombardment in Gaza and unprecedented unrest among Arabs and Jews inside the country. The West Bank clashes, described as among the most intense since the second intifada that began in 2000, left 11 people dead from Israeli fire, the Palestinian health ministry said, as overall fatalities from strikes on Gaza rose to 197.
At least 197 people in the besieged Palestinian enclave were killed, including 58 children and 34 women.
