Fire and smoke rise from a destroyed building as Palestinians carry a victim of an Israeli air strike that targeted Buriej refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on December 27, 2008. Israel blitzed Hamas targets in Gaza on Saturday with a wave of air strikes that killed at least 195 people in the besieged enclave in retaliation for ongoing rocket fire, officials said. Another 300 people were wounded, some 120 of them seriously in the attacks. AFP PHOTO/YASSER SAYMEH
