The death toll from fighting in Israel has risen. So far the number of people who have been killed in Israel and Palestine in total is over 268.

At least 70 people have been killed in Israel after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched its biggest attack in years. Militants crossed into Israel from Gaza under the cover of heavy rockets and have since captured dozens of Israelis, the BBC reports .

Some hostages, soldiers and civilians, returned to Gaza. Israel has responded with a wave of airstrikes on targets in Gaza, killing 198 people, Palestinian officials say. The number of injured is over 1,600.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was "at war" and vowed that Hamas, the militant group that rules Gaza, "will pay a price it has never known".

This is one of the most serious escalations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in years.

The attack by Hamas saw fighters break through the perimeter fence just after dawn. At the same time, barrages of rockets were fired from Gaza - some as far as the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

How the gunmen managed to infiltrate one of the world's most heavily fortified borders is unclear.

The Israeli military said dozens of warplanes were carrying out airstrikes on Hamas facilities in Gaza and hit 17 Hamas military compounds. He also said he has mobilized tens of thousands of reservists. / CNA
