Israel steps up attacks in Gaza as UN peacekeepers come under fire in Lebanon

Palestinians in northern Gaza described heavy Israeli bombardment Saturday in the hours after airstrikes killed at least 22 people, as Israel warned people there and in southern Lebanon to get out of the way of offensives against the Hamas and Hezbollah militant groups. In Lebanon, the U.N. peacekeeping force said that its headquarters in Naqoura was hit again, with a peacekeeper struck by gunfire late Friday and in stable condition.
