Israel increases violence across Gaza

	Israel increases violence across Gaza Six Palestinians were killed in series of Israeli strikes on Gaza, all carried out just hours after a deadly ambush along Israel's southern border with Egypt. The latest strike which killed two 17-year-old youths took place shortly after midnight near Deir al-Balah, but their bodies were only recovered after dawn when an ambulance could get to the scene. The Israeli military also fired on civilians near to Khan Younis, in the South of the Gaza Strip. Cairo has brokered Gaza truces in the past and an Egyptian official said renewed mediation had secured agreement by Israel and Palestinian factions on Tuesday night. While the Minister for the Middle East Alistair Burt urged all parties to exercise restraint and prevent civilian casualties and loss of life. Alistair Burt said: "I am deeply concerned about this week's escalation of violence in Gaza and southern Israel. I condemn this indiscriminate rocket fire into southern Israel, as I do all acts of terrorism. The UK urges all parties to exercise restraint and prevent civilian casualties and loss of life."
