30 killed in Gaza but Israel warns withdrawal to border does not mean the end

ISRAELI tanks and troops pulled back to the Israel-Gaza border yesterday after a particularly deadly incursion that killed 30 Palestinians over three days.

However, the Israeli army said the withdrawal was temporary and did not signify the end of its month-long offensive.

The latest Gaza fighting came as the world’s attention stayed fixed on fighting further north, where Israel is waging war with Lebanon- based Hezbollah fighters.
