[al Jazeera] Israeli tank shells hit a UN-run school in Gaza,
killing at least two people, as war in the Palestinian territory
stretched into a 22nd day.
Heavy bombardment of so-called Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip -
from artillery on the ground and jets overhead - continued on
Saturday despite speculation that Israel will wrap up its military
operations later in the day.
The death toll from the now more than three weeks of assault
stands at 1,199 Palestinians killed, including more than 400
children according to UN and Palestinian medical sources.
At least 13 Israelis have also died in the same period,
including three civilians.
