German foreign minister Heiko Mass has arrived in Israel and will later also visit the Palestinian territories in the hope of brokering a peace agreement between the two parties. Overnight, more rockets were fired from Gaza - and Israel launched another series of airstrikes early this morning.

Since the fighting started ten days ago, more than 200 people have been killed. Many of the victims are children.
