Fighting between Israel and Hamas has entered its 10th straight day and both sides are facing increased pressure to reach a cease-fire — including from President Biden.

On the sixth day of fighting between Israel and Palestinians, an Israeli air strike destroyed a Gaza high-rise that housed the offices of the Associated Press and Al Jazeera.

Israel toppled buildings in Gaza with aerial and artillery fire as Hamas fighters in Gaza continued to fire rockets at Israeli targets.

A new round of Israeli-Palestinian violence continued to escalate Monday as Palestinian militants fired rockets from Gaza toward Jerusalem, and Israel responded with deadly airstrikes.

Palestinians say 20 people, including children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip. Israel wouldn't confirm the deaths, but said it has been carrying out strikes against militants.

The violent exchange followed intense clashes between Israeli police and Palestinians in Jerusalem, prompting Jewish organizers to cancel the annual Jerusalem Day march.

Days of clashes in Jerusalem have left hundreds wounded and drawn international concern over an attempt by Israel to carry out pending evictions.

Clashes between Israelis and Palestinians escalated Friday night in Jerusalem. The latest battle erupted at the Al-Aqsa mosque, one of Islam's holiest sites.

Palestinian medics said more than 200 Palestinians were injured after Israeli police in riot gear confronted Muslim worshippers. Israel said six police officers were injured.

After a deadlocked election and a failed attempt to form a government by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel has turned to a centrist politician to try building a coalition.
