Israeli tanks move into southern Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with his cabinet for war management at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv.

Monday marked the fourth day of renewed fighting since the expiry last week of a truce between Israel and Hamas.Israel's army sent dozens of tanks into southern Gaza as part of expanded action against Hamas despite global concern over mounting civilian deaths, and as communications was cut across the besieged territory.

Weeks after Israel deployed ground forces in the north of the Gaza Strip, the army has been air-dropping leaflets in parts of the south, telling Palestinians to flee to other areas.
