An Israeli youth carries the remains of a rocket fired by Palestinian militants in Gaza after it landed near Kibbutz Nir Am, just outside the northern Gaza Strip January 14, 2009. The Palestinian death toll in Israel's Gaza offensive topped 1,000 on Wednesday, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said, while Egyptian mediators pressed both sides for a ceasefire to stop nearly three weeks of bloodshed.
