STORYLINE:
Large explosions were seen on Gaza’s skyline Saturday night amid Israel’s announcement of the expansion of its military operations.
Israel said on Friday that it plans to take over Gaza City, drawing rejection from the Palestinians and international condemnation.
The decision, agreed in a late-night meeting of its security Cabinet, marks a further escalation of Israel’s 22-month war with Hamas.
It also provoked worries in Israel over the fate of hostages still held by Hamas.
Another major ground operation would almost certainly exacerbate the humanitarian catastrophe, in which Israel’s air and ground war has pushed the territory toward famine.
Hamas said people in Gaza would “remain defiant against occupation.”
