The Israel Defense Forces has “expanded” its operations in the Gaza Strip in recent days, pouring in troops and armored tanks to conduct “coordinated attacks from the ground and the air,” spokesman Daniel Hagari said Monday.
Israeli tanks pushed toward the edge of Gaza City and fired on two civilian cars on coastal Salah al-Din road on Monday morning, according to eyewitnesses in Gaza, in the deepest incursion to date since Israel expanded its ground operations late Friday.
Behind the scenes, the United States pressured Israel to restore the communications it had shut down in the enclave this weekend, according to a senior U.S. official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations.
The United States and Israel rejected calls for a cease-fire, with White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby saying a pause would only help Hamas.
At least 8,306 people in Gaza have been killed in the conflict and more than 21,048 wounded, the Gaza Health Ministry said. The Israeli death toll reported by Israeli authorities has not increased since at least Oct. 16, hovering around 1,400 people killed, with more than 5,400 injured.
