GAZA (Reuters) - The Israeli army killed seven militants in and around the northern Gaza Strip Saturday, raising the Palestinian death toll to 45 in one of the biggest and bloodiest offensives in four years of conflict.

Nearly 200 tanks and armored vehicles controlled a large swathe of the coastal territory in a massive operation mounted after a Palestinian rocket attack killed two Israeli toddlers in a border town Wednesday, witnesses said.

The toll of 45 Palestinians and three Israelis made it the deadliest three days of fighting in northern Gaza since a Palestinian uprising erupted in September 2000.

A White House spokesman said Israel "has the right to defend itself," but urged both sides to promote a U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan, which has been stalled by months of violence.
