The Israeli military has launched a new wave of attacks across the Gaza Strip similar in intensity to the peak of its seven-month war on the besieged Palestinian enclave.
Heavy air strikes have been reported across the strip since Friday, killing at least 120 Palestinians and wounding dozens more, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
The raids coincided with incursions into Jabalia in northern Gaza, Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City and eastern Rafah.
The ground advances have been met with fierce resistance by Hamas and other Palestinian groups.
At least five Israeli soldiers have been killed during the weekend fighting, the military said.
