By Nidal al-Mughrabi and Jeffrey Heller GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Thousands fled their homes in a Gaza town on Sunday after Israel warned them to leave ahead of threatened attacks on rocket-launching sites, on the sixth day of an offensive that Palestinian officials said has killed at least 160 people. Militants in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip kept up rockets salvoes deep into the Jewish state and the worst bout of Israel-Palestinian bloodshed in two years showed no signs of abating, and Western foreign ministers meeting on Sunday said a ceasefire was an urgent priority. Israeli forces dropped leaflets into the town of Beit Lahiya near Gaza’s northern border with Israel. Beware.” The Israeli military told the residents of three of Beit Lahiya’s 10 neighborhoods to get out of the town of 70,000 by midday on Sunday.
