Israel called up an additional 16,000 reservists, a day after Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said the army was ready push further into the Gaza Strip.

The move came as rockets fired from Gaza struck southern Israel early today, adding to the more than 140 launched in the past 24 hours, the army said. Israel carried out 110 strikes in the same time. President Barack Obama and United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon are among world leaders calling for an immediate end of hostilities.
