The death toll from Israeli air strikes on Gaza has risen to 100, Palestinian sources say. The latest deaths were of two people in a car in the Bureij area on Friday, they said. Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes since launching its operation on Tuesday to stop rocket fire from Gaza. Militants there continue to fire on Israel, causing damage and injuries. The U.S. earlier offered to help with a truce in a call to Israel's P.M.
