STORYLINE:
Israeli aircrafts struck the Islamic University in Gaza City on Monday morning as they continued their assaults against Hamas.
Witnesses saw fire and smoke at the university, counting six separate airstrikes there just after midnight (2200 GMT) following one of Israel's deadliest assaults ever on Palestinian militants on Sunday.
Israel widened its deadliest-ever air offensive against Gaza's Hamas rulers on Sunday, pounding smuggling tunnels and a central prison, sending more tanks and artillery toward the Gaza border and approving a reserves call up for a possible ground invasion.
In attacks after nightfall, an Israeli aircraft attacked a building in the Jebaliya refugee camp next to Gaza City, killing a 14-month-old baby, a man and two women, according to a Gaza Health Ministry official.
There were also reports that an Israeli strike on Monday morning targeted the house next to Hamas' Gaza prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh. However Haniyeh was reported to be away from his home.
Israeli leaders have said they would press ahead with the Gaza campaign, despite enraged protests across the Arab world and Syria's decision to break off indirect peace talks with the Jewish state.
Israel's foreign minister said the goal was to halt Gaza rocket fire on Israel for good, but not to reoccupy the territory.
With the two-day death toll nearing 300 on Sunday, crowds of Gazans breached the border wall with Egypt, in an apparent attempt to escape the chaos.
Egyptian forces, some firing in the air, tried to push them back into Gaza and an official said one border guard was killed.
Hamas, in turn, fired missiles deeper than ever into Israel, near the Israeli port city of Ashdod, and continues to command some 20-thousand fighters.
Yet Hamas leaders were forced into hiding, most of the dead were from the Hamas security forces, and Israel's military intelligence chief said Hamas' ability to fire rockets had been reduced by 50 percent.
Indeed, Hamas rocket fire dropped off sharply, from more than 130 on Saturday to just over 20 on Sunday.
Israel's intense bombings - some 300 air strikes since midday Saturday - wreaked unprecedented destruction in Gaza, reducing entire buildings to rubble.
