Militants stormed through towns in southern Israel, gunning down civilians and abducting some 150 people - including men, women and children - in an assault on 7 October. Israeli forces have since put Gaza, home to 2.3 million Palestinians, under a total siege.
These pictures show how the war between Israel and Hamas has escalated since the shocking surprise attack a week ago.

Israel renewed calls on social media and in leaflets dropped from the air for some one million residents to move south, while Hamas urged people to stay inside their homes.
