Air force planes dropped thousands of fliers over the battered Gaza Strip on Friday, urging Palestinians to report to Israeli authorities the location of militants firing rockets, witnesses said.

"Rocket launchers and terrorist elements constitute a risk for you and your families," said the flier, written in Arabic.

The tracts provide a telephone number and an e-mail address for anyone wishing to denounce the "activities of the terrorist elements".

"For your security we ask you to be extremely discreet when contacting us," the text states.

Civilians make up about a quarter of the more than 420 people killed since Israel launched its blitz on Hamas targets in Gaza on December 27 in response to persistent rocket fire, according to a UN tally.
