GAZA, Thursday, July 6 Large numbers of Israeli tanks and troops moved deeper into northern Gaza early this morning to take up new positions near former Israeli settlements, abandoned and destroyed a year ago.

The deeper incursion, by tanks and armored personnel carriers with their headlights off, began just before 2 a.m., hours after the government ordered the military to expand its operations against Hamas in both the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
