A rocket launched from Gaza has killed two Thai workers in southern Israel hours after Israeli air strikes toppled a six-storey building in the Palestinian territory that housed book stores and educational centres.

With the war showing no sign of abating, Palestinians across the region have gone on a general strike in a rare collective action against Israel’s policies.
