Fighting continues in the Middle East/ More than 1,100 casualties are recorded

Fighting between the Israeli army and Hamas has continued throughout the night.

More than 1,100 people have been killed on both sides after a massive attack by Hamas that began early Saturday. The death toll will continue to rise, as a large number of people have been seriously injured, the Israel Defense Forces say.

Thirty-six hours after the latest hostilities began, rockets were still being fired from Gaza into southern Israel.

Israel's retaliatory airstrikes have displaced 123,000 Palestinians in Gaza and nearly 74,000 are seeking shelter in schools, according to the UN.

Hospitals in Gaza have been destroyed and are facing blackouts. The UN says Gaza's last source of energy - its only power plant - could run out of fuel within days.

Several other countries have said their citizens have been killed or kidnapped by Hamas.

The US has moved its aircraft carrier closer to Israel and said it will send more weapons.

US officials expect Israel to launch a ground incursion into Gaza within the next 48 hours.

Oil prices rose on Monday on concerns that recent events could disrupt production from the Middle East./ CNA
