FOG BLOG WORLD LOG: GAZA SURROUNDED BY ISRAELI TROOPS , HAMMAS LEADER TRAPPED IN BUNKER!

Israel says Hamas leader trapped in bunker as its troops battle militant group in Gaza City

'Gaza City is encircled, we are operating inside it,' says Israeli prime minister 75 Canadians, permanent residents and family members have now left Gaza.

  • Netanyahu says Israel seeking 'indefinite period' of control over Gaza security.

  • Palestinian health officials say Israeli strikes kill at least 23 in south Gaza.

Israel said on Tuesday that its forces were operating deep in Gaza City in their battle to wipe out Hamas in the Palestinian enclave and that the Islamist militant group's leader was trapped inside a bunker.

Gaza residents said earlier that Israeli tanks were positioned on the outskirts of Gaza City, Hamas's stronghold in the north of the territory and home to about one-third of its 2.3 million people before the hostilities.

Israel previously said it had surrounded Gaza City and would soon attack it to annihilate Hamas fighters who assaulted Israeli towns across the border one month ago.

Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said Israeli soldiers were operating in the heart of Gaza City. Hamas's most senior leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was isolated in his bunker, Gallant said in a televised news conference.
