Three Palestinians were killed in shelling on Sunday as the Israeli military resumed its assault on Gaza after Hamas shunned an extended lull so long as Israeli troops remained in the besieged enclave, medics said. Emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said two men were killed in shelling near the border in central Gaza, while a third was killed near Khan Younis in the south. Both sides observed a 12-hour truce since it came into force on 8:00 am Saturday. read more
