The United Nations is warning of the risk of "full-scale war" as the clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians continue.<br /><br />Israel's Prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, warned Palestinian militants that this was just the beginning, threatening to strike with “blows they haven't dreamed of”. <br /><br />The United States is sending a senior diplomat to the Middle East to urge Israelis and Palestinians to end the violence. <br /><br />At least 65 Palestinians including 15 children and six Israelis are reported to have been killed since the fighting began.<br /><br />In the past few days Palestinian militants have fired barrages of rockets into Israel, many aimed at Tel Aviv. Israel has carried out a heavy bombardment of Gaza launching hundreds of air strikes. <br /><br />Tensions have been growing in Jerusalem, partly due to a long-running threat to evict Palestinians from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem in an area claimed by Jewish settlers. <br /><br />Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Tom Bateman in Jerusalem, Rushdi Abualouf in Gaza and Caroline Hawley.<br /><br /><br />#BBCNews<br />
