The home of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has been hit by an Israeli missile, during the heaviest night of bombardment in three weeks of fighting.
An Israeli aircraft struck at Mr Haniyeh's house early this morning causing damage but no casualties, Gaza's Interior Ministry said.
Mr Haniyeh's son confirmed the strike on his Facebook page but added that the house of the former Hamas Gaza prime minister was empty.
A Palestinian girl at the scene of an explosion that killed nine children Haniyeh said in a statement. "My house is not more valuable than the houses of other people. Destroying stones will not break our determination."
Israeli aircraft, tanks and gunboats pounded targets in Gaza City that were symbols of Hamas government control, including the headquarters of the Hamas satellite TV station Al Aqsa and Al Aqsa radio.
The Al Aqsa TV headquaters after being hit by an Israeli shell Hamas said that despite the attack the stations continued to broadcast.
As night fell over Gaza City, Israeli flares illuminated the sky to the sound of intense shelling.
A number of rockets fired from Gaza were launched toward various regions in southern and central Israel, including the Tel Aviv area.

The Israeli military warned thousands of Palestinians to flee their homes in areas around Gaza City - usually the prelude to major army strikes.

Israeli Army Radio said the Hamas gunmen fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the soldiers who were in a watchtower and then tried to drag one of the soldiers' bodies into the tunnel back to Gaza, but failed when troops fired at them, killing one militant.
Hamas said nine of its fighters carried out the attack.

A Palestinian official said at least 10 people were killed in the strike on the camp, and a further 46 injured.
However, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) denied responsibility for the attacks and said it had not been operating in the area.
Lavi died from wounds sustained last week while fighting in Gaza Israeli army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerne said claims the IDF was responsible were "ridiculous".
The IDF also tweeted: "Since the beginning of the operation #IDF has documented approximately 200 rockets & mortars that landed short within #Gaza."
Gaza's electricity company has claimed two Israeli tank shells have hit the fuel tank of Gaza main power station.
Firefighters in Gaza battle a fire started after a rocket attack Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei this morning accused Israel of committing "genocide" in Gaza and called on the Islamic world to arm Palestinians fighting "the Zionist regime".
Israel started its offensive against Gaza on July 8, declaring its aim was to halt rockets fired by Hamas and its allies into Israel.
But Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was widening the objectives, adding the only solution would be a complete demilitarisation of the Gaza.
"We will not finish the operation without neutralising the tunnels, which have the sole purpose of destroying our citizens, killing our children," he said.
A Palestinian health official said the overall Gaza death toll stands at 1,110.
Israel said a total of 53 soldiers have been killed, including two civilians and a Thai national.
