Despite international condemnation, Israel is intensifying its assault on the Palestinian territory.

Air strikes have killed hundreds of civilians in the last 24 hours.

Ground forces are pushing deeper into the strip. Israeli tanks have been seen on the main road linking northern and southern Gaza.

New footage shows one of them firing at a car which was trying to get to safety. 3 people were killed in the incident.
