Israel and Gaza militants have traded heavy fire for a fifth consecutive day as hopes faded of securing a truce to end days of fighting in which dozens have been killed, all but one of them Palestinian. More than 1,000 rockets have been launched from militants while the Israeli military offensive targeted houses. On Saturday morning, Israel bombed an apartment belonging to Islamic Jihad commander Mohammed Abu Al Atta, among other buildings in densely populated neighbourhoods.
