STORYLINE
Israeli aircraft sent missiles slamming into the office of the leader of Hamas-ruled Gaza before dawn on Sunday, after killing 54 Palestinians in the highest single-day death toll since fighting erupted in 2000.
The violence spread to the West Bank, where several hundred Palestinian youths threw stones and bottles at an Israeli checkpoint in the center of Hebron.
Israeli troops responded with rubber bullets and gas, slightly wounding two people.
The army was checking the report.
In Gaza City and the West Bank town of Ramallah, residents announced a general strike and closed all shops and most of the schools in a protest against the Israeli army operations in the Gaza strip.
Ismail Haniyeh's office was empty at the time, but the raid was seen as a signal that Israel holds Gaza's Islamic militant rulers responsible for the violence.
Five people were slightly wounded by flying glass.
The Hamas leader's office was just one of about a dozen targets Israeli aircraft and ground troops struck before dawn. One Hamas militant was killed in the raids.
The attack follows the death of four people who were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a police station late on Saturday in the southern town of Rafah.
At least two of the dead in the Rafah attack were police.
The Israeli military confirmed carrying out an airstrike.
Moderate Palestinian leaders called the killings - which took a heavy toll on civilians - a "holocaust" and "genocide," and threatened to call off peace talks.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told The Associated Press on Sunday the negotiations were suspended for the time being.
It was unclear when the talks, relaunched last November at a US-hosted summit, would resume.
Overnight, a 14-year-old girl and five militants died of their wounds, and three Palestinians were killed in Israeli raids, bringing the total death toll from the operation to 63.
