   The US has condemned the violence and urged both sides to refrain from retaliating. Egypt, which usually mediates between #Israel and #Palestinian militants, has warned both sides of dire consequences to the current escalation. In a statement, the Egyptian foreign ministry called for exercising maximum restraint and the need to spare civilians. The EU and several European countries have also condemned the attack.

     Update from #BBC 's Yolande Knell on the ongoing attack on #Israel :
     At least 40 #Israelis are reported dead
     People are calling into TV stations being under attack asking to be rescued; large explosions in #Gaza , casualties reported there too after people rushing out there to buy supplies;
     Recap: 8 hours ago dozens of militants entered Israel - no confirmations on numbers yet; fear is the fighting could spread to West Bank - this might become a wider conflict;
