- Story Text:Another explosion has rocked the Gaza strip on Sunday (May 5), sending smoke and dust across the city.
The latest violence comes after rockets killed three people in an Israeli city, while five Palestinian militants died on Sunday (May 5) in surging cross-border fighting.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the military to continue "massive strikes" against Gaza's ruling Hamas group.
Israel's military said more than 450 rockets, many intercepted by its Iron Dome anti-missile system, have been fired at southern Israeli cities and villages since Friday (May 3).
