As the heavy bombardment continues, the Hamas appointed Gaza Health Ministry said more than 8,300 Palestinians have now been killed.
According to Palestinian witnesses - Israeli tanks reached the outskirts of Gaza City - entering the Zaytun district. Reports suggest the IDF took control of Salah al-Din Road, a major route linking the north and south.
To the north, intense fighting has been reported between Israeli forces and Hamas near the Mediterranean coast.
