A wounded Israeli man, who later died in hospital, is taken away on a stretcher from the scene of a rocket attack in the southern city of Netivot December 27, 2008. Israeli warplanes and combat helicopters pounded the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing more than 230 people in the bloodiest day for Palestinians in more than 20 years. Palestinian militants responded with rocket salvoes that killed an Israeli man and wounded several others, medics said. [Agencies]
