ISRAEL is expanding its invasion of Gaza to seize “large areas” to “crush and clean the area,” Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz announced today.
The move came as Gaza’s hospitals reported that an overnight air strike killed more than 50 people, with nearly a dozen being children and a United Nations clinic among the targets.
Mr Katz said the military’s latest offensive in the war-torn strip would involve “seizing large areas that will be added to the security zones of the State of Israel.”
