Smoke from Israeli strikes rises over Gaza City, in the northern Gaza Strip, Sunday, July 27, 2014. Israel resumed its Gaza offensive on Sunday, calling off a unilateral extension of a humanitarian cease-fire after Palestinian militants fired several rockets at southern Israel. The rocket fire began late Saturday after Gaza's Hamas rulers, who have demanded the lifting of an Israeli and Egyptian blockade on the territory and the release of prisoners, refused to extend the truce.

JERUSALEM -- The Israeli military says it has carried out three airstrikes on Gaza, targeting Hamas rocket launchers and infrastructure in the strip.
The strikes broke a relative lull in the fighting at the start of a major Muslim holiday.
The military says Israeli jets hit two rocket launchers and a rocket manufacturing facility in central and northern Gaza on Monday.
It says the airstrikes were in response to a Hamas rocket launched into Israel earlier in the morning.
The strikes followed an almost 12-hour lull in war-torn Gaza.
