Palestinians in northern Gaza reported fierce air and artillery strikes as Israeli troops backed by tanks pressed into the enclave with a ground assault that prompted more international calls for civilians to be protected.

Israel's military said it had struck more than 600 militant targets over the past few days as it expanded ground operations in the territory, where Palestinian civilians are in dire need of fuel, food and clean water as the war enters its fourth week.

I am personally appalled by the atrocities of Israel! This isn't justified, this is absolutely disproportionate and horrific and if you don't think the same I wonder what a "great" human being you might be.
