Bruno Mars leaves Israel after cancelling show: Local media

Pop star Bruno Mars has left Israel after cancelling a concert and spending several hours in Tel Aviv, according to local media.

There are at least seven areas where the Israeli military is still battling Palestinian fighters.

Hamas says its fighters still engaged in ‘fierce’ battles inside Israel.

In Israel, 300 civilians have also been killed, and dozens of Israelis have been taken hostage.

Hamas has called on Palestinians and other Arabs to join the action to "sweep away the [Israeli] occupation".

For the last 17 years, Hamas has been in control of Gaza.

Hamas was preparing for such a battle with Israel.

Hamas has also been expecting Israel to react the way it has - Israel's Air Force hit back last night.

Israel will continues to destroy key Hamas infrastructure and the homes of the group's leaders.

Hamas knows the consequences of such an attack on Israel - expecting the retaliatory strikes and planned how to counter such strikes and win this war.

Israeli warplanes have hit 150 targets since the start of the retaliatory strikes.

Israel’s military says there are still eight “points of engagement” with Hamas militants inside its territory, although it claims to have regained control of 22 locations in the country’s south. Hamas says "fierce fighting" continues "we are killing the Israeli soldiers"

People are staying indoors, the sounds of explosions have been continuous, and a cloud of black smoke engulfes Gaza.

A spokesman says Israel is "still at war... still completing efforts to take full control of Israeli territory and communities from Hamas"
