As Israel’s assault continues, Palestinian rocket firings dropped to around 75 on Sunday, after a two-day average of 230 rockets. Three Israelis have been killed and around 80 wounded by Palestinian rocket fire so far. According to Israeli government statistics, Israel has carried out more than 1,350 attacks since launching the offensive last week. More than 540 Palestinian rockets have fallen inside Israel, all but 35 in open areas. Egyptian officials have been holding separate talks for a ceasefire with Palestinian and Israeli representatives in Cairo, but a deal is not expected at least for several days. Israel has even called up reservist troops as it prepares for a potential ground invasion of Gaza.
