Israel has expanded its military ground operations in Gaza as it continued to bombard the besieged territory for a third consecutive day, while the Palestinian group Hamas fired rockets towards Israel for the first time since a fragile truce was shattered this week.
The Gaza Health Ministry said at least 91 people – including a newborn baby – were killed in the attacks that took place overnight and early on Thursday in the south and north of the Gaza Strip. Dozens were reportedly wounded in the assault.
