Gaza crisis: Death toll from Israeli strikes 'hits 100'

The death toll from Israeli air strikes on Gaza has risen to 100, the BBC reported, citing Palestinian sources.

The latest deaths were of two people in a car in the Bureij area on Friday, they said.

Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes since launching its operation on Tuesday to stop rocket fire from Gaza. Militants there continue to fire on Israel, causing damage and injuries.

The US earlier offered to help with a truce in a call to Israel's PM.

Egypt and Turkey have both criticised Israel's use of force.

The Palestinian health ministry says in addition to those killed, 675 people - mainly civilians - have been injured in Israel's Operation Protective Edge.

Israel says "dozens of terrorists" are among the dead.

Overnight in Gaza, an Israeli air strike on a house in Rafah killed five people - three men and two women - the health ministry said.

A second strike, it added, killed a girl in Rafah, while one militant was killed when his motorcycle was hit north of Gaza City.

In Israel, one person was seriously injured when a rocket hit a petrol station in Ashdod on Friday morning, Israeli officials say.
