Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Gaza toll nears 300 amid new raids: "Palestinian medics say that more than 280 people have been killed and more than 600 injured in a second day of Israeli bombing of the impoverished Gaza Strip.

A police station and a factory were among the targets reportedly hit on Sunday, after a mosque and the headquarters of al-Aqsa television had been struck overnight.

Reports say the latest air attacks have hit Gaza City, Khan Yunis and Jabaliya, in the north.

The Reuters news agency reported that at least one missile hit the offices of Ismail Haniya, the Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, but he was not in the building at the time."
