Israeli Airstirkes Continue; Death Toll Rises to 24 Palestinians, Including a
7-year-old boy, Two Other Minors

   GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP - Israeli aircraft struck Islamic Jihad targets
   throughout the Gaza Strip on Wednesday while the militant group rained
   scores of rockets into Israel for a second straight day as the heaviest
   round of fighting in months showed no signs of ending. The death toll
   rose to 24 Palestinians, including a 7-year-old boy and two other
   minors.

   The U.N.'s Mideast envoy, Nickolay Mladenov, rushed to Cairo to work
   with Egyptian mediators on arranging a truce. An Islamic Jihad
   delegation was also expected in Egypt "very soon," and Egyptian
   intelligence official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because
   he was not authorized to talk to the media.
