Israeli troops began heavy fighting in the suburbs of Gaza City before dawn, moving in from the former settlement of Netzarim. Attacks in the Sheikh Ajleen neighborhood killed at least eight people, including two women and two children.
Airstrikes, and naval and artillery shelling continued through the day. Israeli forces are present in the northern section of Gaza, the eastern border and the Rafah border area.
Three rockets were fired from Gaza at Israel in the morning. Two exploded near Beersheva, injuring several people. A third hit empty land.
Casualty figures are difficult to verify, but the Gazan authorities have reported 884 dead, including 275 children, 93 women and 12 medical personnel. That does not include complete figures for Hamas fighters, who have not been taken to hospitals.
