Rocket and other fire from Gaza claimed 12 lives in Israel, one Indian national and two Thai workers, medics say. Some 357 people in Israel were wounded.
Gaza’s housing ministry said on Thursday that 16,800 housing units had been damaged. Of those, 1,800 had become unfit for living and 1,000 were destroyed completely.
