Gaza at war again after militants fire rockets into Israel and the Jewish state responds, killing a ten-year-old Palestinian in Mosque air strike

Gaza is at war once more after militants blasted rockets into Israel and the military hit back - launching a string of strikes which killed a 10-year-old boy at a mosque.

Palestinian families fled their bombed-out homes this morning as Israel claimed Hamas fired at least 18 rockets from Gaza at the end of a tense 72-hour ceasefire, which negotiators failed to extend.

And three hours after the truce ended Israel announced it was renewing its military campaign, hitting what it called 'terror sites' across Gaza with a fresh wave of air strikes, gunboats and tank fire. 

Most of the strikes hit empty fields but one struck the grounds of the Nour al-Mohammadi Mosque in Gaza City - killing a 10-year-old boy and wounding five, one of them critically.

At least 10 rockets fired into Israel as negotiators failed to extend ceasefire which expired at 8am today (5am GMT)
