The death toll in the Gaza Strip rose to 313 Sunday, the health ministry in the Palestinian enclave said, as the Israel army carried out air strikes on Hamas targets for the second consecutive day.
The Hamas-controlled ministry said another 1,990 people had been wounded in the fighting that began on Saturday after Hamas fired thousands of rockets into Israel in a surprise dawn assault.
The Israeli death toll from the attack has risen to 350, according to Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 news.
At least 30 police officers have been killed, including some commanders, in the first day of fighting between Israelis and Palestinians near Gaza, according to the Israeli police.
Meanwhile, two Israeli tourists and one Egyptian were killed Sunday by a policeman in Egypt, local media reported.
The policeman fired "at random" using "his personal weapon" at an Israeli tour group visiting Alexandria, the state-affiliated private television Extra News said quoting a security source. A fourth person was wounded and the policeman was "immediately arrested", it added.
