Rockets flew over the Israel-Gaza border as the sun set on Sunday (July 13), the sixth day of an offensive that Palestinian officials say has killed at least 160 people so far.

Footage showed rockets being fired from Gaza as plumes of smoke rose above the Gaza skyline. In one piece of video it appeared that a rocket fired from Gaza was intercepted by Israel's defence system.

Militants in Hamas-ruled Gaza have kept up rocket salvoes deep into Israel as the worst bout of Israel-Palestinian bloodshed in two years showed no signs of abating, and Western foreign ministers said a ceasefire was an urgent priority.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuffed international calls for a ceasefire while defending his country's offensive in Gaza during appearances on U.S. television on Sunday(July 13).
