Street Battles Break Out In Gaza City
From The Telegraph:
Heavy fighting broke out in the centre of Gaza City on Monday night as a new phase of Israel's war on Hamas began.
Troops poured into the area and gun battles broke out at close quarters.
Israel continued to defy international calls for a ceasefire with ground forces moving to seize fresh positions within the city limits.
Explosions were heard in factory districts in the east of the city and refugee camps witnessed heavy fighting throughout the day.

Regarding Gaza strip, when Joshua replaced Moses, God continually commanded Israel to drive out the Canaanites, but Israel failed to obey God in several areas. In consequence, Joshua gave a curse,’Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will NO MORE drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.’ Joshua 23:13. God stated his curse again against Israel in Judges 2:20 ‘And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice; 21 I also will NOT henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:’ The passage continues and mentions the cities specifically in the Gaza strip. And we find that that Gaza, Ashkelon and that little strip which was once Philistia (Palestina)has never truly been conquered by Israel because of Israel’s ancient unpurged sin. Yet, modern political ‘Israel’ has raised its hand against God’s ancient decree, again, and God will remember it as he is no respecter of nations. Until the end comes, the land is to be shared. The ancient decree has been written, so shall it be done.
