The BBC’s Ros Atkins looks at the reasons behind the increased hostilities in the region.

Hamas militants have launched dozens of rockets at Israel after Israeli air strikes killed senior commanders and felled a multi-storey building in Gaza.

The escalation of the fighting, which began on Monday, has prompted the UN to warn of a “full-scale war”.
