Smoke trails are seen as a rocket is launched from the northern Gaza Strip towards Israel November 17, 2012. Palestinian militants fired a rocket at Tel Aviv on Saturday but it was intercepted in mid-air by a newly deployed Israeli anti-missile battery and caused no casualties or damage, police said.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Three rockets have hit the southern Israeli town of Ashkelon, amid calls for a ceasefire as Israel’s bombardment of Gaza continued overnight.<\/h1>\n

The Israel Defence Forces said a school in the town had been hit.<\/p>\n

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is on his way to the region to appeal for an end to the violence. He is expected to meet Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi before visiting Israel and Gaza.<\/p>\n

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is on his way to the region to appeal for an end to the violence. He is expected to meet Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi before visiting Israel and Gaza.<\/p>\n

Pictures from Gaza City in the early hours of Monday showed buildings in flames and thick, black plumes of smoke rising into the air.<\/p>\n

But he said shelling had been taking place some 600 metres from the scene of a funeral procession in Gaza, following the deaths of 11 people in an attack on the home of one family.<\/p>\n

That airstrike happened on Sunday, the bloodiest day so far of Israel’s Operation Pillar of Defence, with more than 120 targets hit and 29 Palestinians killed.<\/p>\n

Gaza medics say women and children accounted for most of those killed, among them five babies and toddlers.<\/p>\n

“This must stop,” said Mr Ban. “I strongly urge the parties to co-operate with all efforts led by Egypt to reach an immediate ceasefire.”<\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned he is ready to expand the operation. The Reuters news agency quoted a senior Israeli official saying the country is ready for a ground invasion but prefers diplomacy.<\/p>\n

The mobilisation of 75,000 army reservists has already been authorised, suggesting a ground invasion could be imminent.<\/p>\n

Talks to avert an escalation of violence will continue in Egypt later.<\/p>\n

The Turkish Prime Minister and the Emir of Qatar are in the Egyptian capital, along with senior Israeli diplomats and representatives of Hamas.<\/p>\n

British Foreign Secretary William Hague has warned Israel that it risks losing international sympathy if it escalates its campaign against Palestinian militants into a ground invasion.<\/p>\n

China on Monday called for restraint on both sides.<\/p>\n\n
