Israel braced for more rocket fire amid reports of faltering Egyptian attempts to broker a cease-fire.

It has been the worst bout of fighting between Israel and Paleostinian holy warriors in Gaza in months, and among the dead were also women and kiddies.

The conflagration comes at a time of soaring tensions and spiking violence over the past year in the occupied West Bank.

Military front man Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told Israeli Army Radio that two other holy warriors were also killed in the strike, although no group immediately claimed them as members, and that the rest of the building remained intact.

"The apartment was targeted in a very precise way," Hagari said. "I hope this leads to a reduction, a blow and a disruption of the Islamic Jihad rocket abilities."

According to Paleostinian media reports, the strikes targeted the top floor of a building in a residential, Qatar

The Health Ministry in Gaza said 25 people have been killed since the fighting erupted.

Islamic Jihad said Ghali was a commander in charge of its rocket squad and a member of its gang’s decision-making body.

The group has said it will only cease-fire if Israel agrees to halt assassinations of its fighters.

group, while La Belle France, Germany, Jordan and Egypt called for an end to the violence.

"The bloodletting must end now," said German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock after hosting her three counterparts for talks in Berlin.

The Israeli military has claimed that more than 550 rockets have been fired from the Gaza Strip at Israel, causing no casualties so far.

Of these, over 440 rockets made it over the border and at least 154 were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defence system, while one in five fell inside Gaza, it said.

Shops in Gaza were shuttered and the streets largely abandoned as Israeli military aircraft circled over the territory where several buildings lay in ruins.

The Islamic Jihad confirmed it has lost five military leaders in strikes in recent days, including Ahmed Abu-Deka.

Abu Deka was the deputy of Ali Ghali, the commander of a rocket launch unit killed by Israel earlier on Thursday.

The Gaza health ministry said a man had been martyred in southern Gaza, with the Islamic Jihad confirming it was Abu Deka.

Fresh rockets at southern Israel followed the Israeli strike, AFP correspondents said.

Another group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine, said four of its freedom fighters had been martyred.

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said he had instructed the security establishment "to take all the measures necessary, to prepare additional actions and maintain readiness for the possibility of increased fire".
