It's the Daily Fail, so salt needed.
An Israeli airstrike has killed four youths and wounded seven other people on a coastal road near a beach in the Gaza Strip, as hospitals begin to fill with victims who ignored an Israeli leaflet warning Palestinians to evacuate Gaza.
Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al Kedra says the four killed in Gaza's seaport today were all under the age of 18, adding that some of the wounded were adults.
Israel has intensified air and tank strikes on what it says are Hamas militant targets in the Gaza strip after dropping flyers and making automated phone calls ordering tens of thousands of Palestinians in the north and east of the region to leave their homes by 8am this morning.
Israel's resumption of air and tank strikes on Gaza comes after authorities said one of the hundreds of rockets launched from within the Hamas-dominated region has caused the first Israeli fatality in the nine day-old conflict.
