Factbox: Gaza targets bombed by Israel
Rockets fired from Gaza have killed four Israeli civilians and one soldier since the conflict began.
Here are some of the targets hit so far in the 40 km (25 mile) long coastal enclave where 1.7 million Palestinians live.
- The headquarters of Hamas's Gaza chief, Ismail Haniyeh, who is also the prime minister of the group's Gaza authority
- The main security complex, known as the Saraya
- A sprawling Hamas government compound housing branch offices of different ministries
- The Hamas-run interior ministry, destroyed along with civil affairs offices that documented Gaza civilians
- Several police stations, evacuated before the fighting by police who redeployed elsewhere
- Military training camps, also evacuated and located mostly outside residential areas
- A main bridge on the Gaza coastal road, connecting Gaza City with the rest of the enclave
- Dozens of houses and apartment blocks, including one in which nine members of the same family were killed
- The house of Essam Al-Daalees, a political advisor to Hamas's Gaza prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh
- Gunmen on motorcycles and in cars
- Fields and open spaces suspected of concealing buried rocket launchers, often hit with large bombs. Also a possible move to churn up land ahead of any ground invasion
- The Islamic National Bank, suspected by Israel of acting as a financial arm of Hamas, something bank officials deny
- Three media offices used by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, as well as by Arab and international news outlets; two journalists of Hamas's al-Aqsa television and an employee of Islamic Jihad's al-Quds radio were killed in two air strikes on their cars

The latest from our correspondents on the bus explosion in Tel Aviv:
Explosion hits bus in Tel Aviv, 10 wounded
TEL AVIV, Nov 21 (Reuters) - An explosion hit a public bus in the heart of Tel Aviv on Wednesday, wounding at least 10 people, Israel's ambulance service reported.
"A bomb exploded on a bus in central Tel Aviv. This was a terrorist attack. Most of the injured suffered only mild injuries," said Ofir Gendelman, a spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Television showed pictures of a smoke-filled bus, with its windows broken.
The attack happened on the eighth day of an Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip which it launched with the stated aim of preventing rocket strikes from the Palestinian enclave.
Celebratory gunfire rang out in Gaza City when local radio stations reported news of the Tel Aviv explosion.
The last time Israel's commercial capital was hit by a serious bomb blast was in April 2006, when a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 11 people at a sandwich stand near the city's old central bus station.
