Despite intensifying its military campaign and mobilizing its forces closer to the heart of Gaza, Israel has failed to break the resistance.
On Thursday, Israeli tanks and troops advanced to within 2 km of Gaza City, where they were met with fierce resistance by Palestinian fighters.
Palestinian fighters hit two Israeli tanks with RPG shells, Hamas affiliated al-Manar reported. Since yesterday 33 Israeli soldiers have been wounded during the fighting.
The Palestinians who have the upper hand in knowing the battleground are preventing Israel’s military troops and convoys from advancing further.

D’Escoto has made a series of
outspoken attacks on Israel |
|
The president of the UN General Assembly has condemned Israel’s killings of Palestinians in its Gaza offensive as “genocide”.
Miguel d’Escoto Brockmann also told Al Jazeera he had never believed that the UN Security Council would be able to stop the violence in Gaza and that Ehud Olmert, the Israeli prime minister, had practically told the UN to “mind their own business” by continuing the offensive.
“The number of victims in Gaza is increasing by the day… The situation is untenable. It’s genocide,” d’Escoto said at the UN in New York.
About 970 Palestinians have been killed and 4,300 injured since Israel began its Gaza offensive on December 27, which it says is to stop Palestinian fighters attacking Israel with rockets.

Several residents of south Lebanon on Wednesday received recorded telephone messages from the “state of Israel” warning them against cooperating with Ahmed Jibril’s Palestinian organization and al-Qaida.
The recorded message said: “To the citizens of south Lebanon. Do not deal with the Palestinians. Do not allow al-Qaida or the General Command to launch rockets at Israel from pads deployed between your houses.
“Remember the catastrophe and destruction you suffered in 1982 because of the Palestinian presence in the south.”
The messages were received shortly after three rockets were fired on Israel from south Lebanon.

ISRAELI TERROR UNLEASHED ON GAZA
Since the start of “Operation Cast Lead”, Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians and wounded over 4,580 others — 40% of whom are women and children. If any other country in the world, “democracy” or not, had unleashed an onslaught of such devastating ferocity against 1.5 million defenceless people caged in the most densely populated area on earth, the British government, along with governments across the world, would be expelling its ambassador (as Venezuela and Bolivia have done), stopping arms sales to that country (as Greece has done) and making plans for a wider embargo if the carnage did not stop.
