The heaviest exchange of fire in years - sparked by unrest in Jerusalem - has killed 220 in Gaza, including 63 children, and 12 in Israel. Thousands of Palestinian citizens of Israel have taken to the streets in towns, villages, and what are known as "mixed" cities - to assert their identity and rights. The UN has pleaded for an end to the "utterly appalling" violence, but a Security Council meeting resulted in little action, with the US reportedly blocking a statement condemning Israel's actions.     What led to the most recent Israel-Palestine escalation? Protests over the expulsion of Palestinian families and Israeli raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque compound preceded Israel's heavy bombardment of Gaza.   INFOGRAPHIC: Mapping Israeli occupation Thirteen maps explain how Israel's military control over the Palestinian people affects every aspect of their lives.   'Give us 10 minutes': How Israel bombed a Gaza media tower An Israeli air raid flattened a building housing residential apartments and the offices of news organisations, including Al Jazeera and AP, in Gaza.   Gaza Strip: A beginner's guide to an enclave under blockade From Israeli occupation to a 14-year blockade, here is all you need to know about 'the world's largest open-air prison.   OPINION: Israel's doctrine, humane bombing and benevolent occupation  How Israelis moved from shooting and crying to shooting and laughing in Palestine.   Why is the US unequivocal in its support for Israel?
