JERUSALEM — The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza says at least 198 people have been killed and at least 1,610 wounded in the territory in Israel’s retaliation after a wide-ranging Hamas assault into Israel.&nbsp;

The toll came as Israel has carried out a number of airstrikes in Gaza and has clashed with gunmen at the border fence around the coastal territory.&nbsp;

Several hours after the incursion began, Hamas militants were still fighting gunbattles inside several Israeli communities in a surprising show of strength that shook the country.
