Israel masses tanks and soldiers on the boundary with Gaza ahead of an expected ground invasion following the Hamas terror attacks that killed more than 1,400 people
Good morning, and welcome to i's live blog. Fears that the Israel-Palestinian conflict might spread through the Middle East ratcheted higher on Sunday, with the US sending more military assets to the region as Israel pummelled targets in Gaza and elsewhere. More than 50 Palestinians were killed in Israeli air strikes on the narrow coastal enclave overnight, Hamas has claimed.
Meanwhile, an Israeli missile attack targeted Damascus and Aleppo international airports in neighbouring Syria early on Sunday, killing a civilian worker and putting the airports out of service, Syrian state media reported. Israel said its aircraft struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Saturday and that one of its soldiers was hit by an anti-tank missile in cross-border fighting that the Iran-backed group said killed six of its fighters.
