Israel says it hit 320 more targets in the Gaza Strip, while Palestinian authorities say homes were hit "without warning"
- Israel's defence minister says the campaign could take "one month, two months, three months... at the end there will be no more Hamas".
- He also hints at a ground attack - but says before Hamas "meets our tanks and our infantry, they will know the shells from our air force"
- The Israeli military says a soldier was killed inside the Gaza Strip while carrying out a raid
- In Gaza, another 14 aid trucks arrived on Sunday - but the UN warns that "more, much more" is needed
- The UN agency for Palestinian refugees says the situation in southern Gaza is so bad, people are returning north - despite Israeli military warnings.
We've been focusing this morning on what's happening in southern Israel and Gaza - but there is also violence at the border with Lebanon.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari says the IDF struck "eight terrorist cells" in Lebanon in the past 24 hours.
Seven of those were struck before they managed to fire anti-tank missiles and rockets, he said.
Hagari also said 20 Hezbollah cells had been struck since fighting broke out on the border earlier this month.
Not an exaggeration to say it's catastrophic in Gaza - Red Cross
The International Committee of the Red Cross has welcomed the delivery of the first two convoys of aid to Gaza - but says it's just a "drop" of what the population needs.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, charity spokeswoman Imene Trabelsi said there needs to be an ongoing and sustainable plan to deliver supplies - and pointed out that the vast majority of those in Gaza were relying on aid before the latest conflict even broke out.
Trabelsi adds that families forced from their homes are sleeping on the streets without essential items such as blankets because shelters are already full.
"It's not an exaggeration to say it's catastrophic in Gaza." Last week, an IDF spokesman suggested to the BBC there was no humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
As we've reported, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says limited raids were mounted into Gaza overnight.
This is not the beginning of a full-scale ground invasion - but one soldier was killed in Gazan territory. Three other IDF soldiers were injured.
Here's how things are looking on the Israeli side of the barrier this morning:
