West Bank anger over Gaza raids

Thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank have joined demonstrations after a call from Hamas for a "day of wrath" against the Israeli attacks on Gaza.

Protests have also been held around the Muslim world after Friday Prayers.

Medics in Gaza say more than 400 people have been killed in a week of raids. Four Israelis have died in the rocket attacks Israel is trying to prevent.

Five Palestinians, including three children, have been killed in the latest Israeli air attacks on Gaza.

Friday's protests were called after an Israeli air strike hit the home of Nizar Rayan, a firebrand leader of Hamas who refused to go into hiding, killing him and several of his wives and children on Thursday.

"We will not rest until we destroy the Zionist entity," senior Hamas figure Fathi Hammad said at the funeral for the 20 people who died in that attack.
