Israel's army restarts Gaza military offensive
- 10 years ago
Israel is to restart its military offensive on Gaza after Hamas rejected a humanitarian truce by continuing to fire rockets into Israel.
The Israeli cabinet had warned it would act if Hamas breached the 24-hour UN backed ceasefire.
Residents in Gaza reported hearing heavy shelling east of Gaza City shortly after the announcement was made.
Hamas said it would only accept a truce if Israel’s military left Gaza and allowed the displaced to return to their homes.
