Fighting between the Palestinian Islamic Jihad armed group and Israel entered its third day on Thursday, with reports of civilian deaths in Gaza and Israel.

The Palestinian health ministry reported new casualties, taking the overall toll to 29 people. At least one Israeli was killed in Rehovot when a rocket hit a residential building
