Israeli continues military operation in Gaza Strip, despite intensified international mediation to broker a ceasefire.

A rocket fired from Gaza hit just a mile away from Ben Gurion International airport outside Tel Aviv on Tuesday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will continue to do what it needs to defend its people.

As fighting intensifies, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has visited Tel Aviv and Ramallah in an attempt to broker a ceasefire.

He urged both sides to stop fighting and start talking.

The US Federal Aviation Administration has ordered a ban on all flights of US airlines into Israel for the next 24-hours. Several European airlines have also followed suit.

More than 100-thousand in Gaza have fled their homes since Israel began its offensive over 2-weeks ago.

The first bodies of victims of the downed Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 17 are due to arrive in the Netherlands later today.

Around 200 bodies have now been moved by train to the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv from the rebel-controlled crash site.

Nearly 200 of the victims were Dutch nationals. The country has declared Wednesday a national day of mourning.
