Israeli Ground Operation Pushes Deeper into Gaza
(Wall Street Journal) Stephen Kalin - Israeli soldiers pushed at least 2 miles deep into Gaza on Sunday. Tanks fired from Gaza's Mediterranean beaches, and soldiers moved across open and hilly ground, according to video the IDF released. The latest actions suggest a war that is likely to last a long time, as Israel prepares to move deliberately in stages into Gaza territory. On Sunday morning, Israeli authorities restored internet and phone communications after implementing a near complete communications blackout on Friday night. Washington convinced Israel that communications needed to be turned back on to allow the UN and other aid groups to coordinate with their staff in Gaza, a senior U.S. government official said.
