Hamas threatens escalation as Israel-Gaza tensions rise
 

Like other civilians in Gaza, children are bearing the brunt of the latest flare up in violence between Hamas and Israel.

In three days of fighting, 18 Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured, while two Israelis have been wounded.
