Smoke rises following what witnesses said were Israeli air strikes in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. A Gaza ceasefire crumbled only hours after it began on Friday, with at least 70 Palestinians killed by Israeli shelling and Israel accusing militants of violating the and truce by firing rockets and mortars.
