Palestinian militants battled Israeli forces in northern Gaza on Tuesday as a deal was struck between Israel and Hamas to deliver medicine to hostages and allow aid into Gaza.

Israeli forces launched a barrage of rockets on Tuesday in a show of force more than 100 days into Israel’s massive air and ground campaign against the tiny coastal enclave.
