By Thursdsay, Israel had carried out 780 air strikes on targets across the territory and Hamas, the radical Islamist movement, had fired almost 400 rockets at Israeli population centres, including Tel Aviv.

Using data from a variety of eyewitness, government and media sources the Telegraph has compiled a graphic mapping the main targets of strikes from opposing forces in both Israel and the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli section of the map also denotes the number of missile attacks recorded on Israeli towns. Data has been sourced from Red Alert - an app which delivers notifications every time a siren is sounded in Israeli cities detecting incoming missiles from Gaza.
