Hamas

Officials in Gaza say at least 230 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict. In Israel, 12 people have been killed.

Here is a look at some key events in the conflict over the past decade and a half.

The president is facing calls from some in his party to exert more influence on Israel, but the former Mideast envoy says Hamas rocket fire is "what's guiding him probably more than anything else."

Israeli warplanes carried out another round of airstrikes against Hamas targets in Gaza, leveling a six-story building, while militants fired dozens of rockets into Israel.

In Washington, calls for an end to the fighting have intensified, including among Democrats in Congress who support Israel and even some Republicans.
