FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Dozens of Palestinian civilians have been killed as thousands of Israeli soldiers backed by tanks continue a ground invasion into the besieged Gaza Strip.
Gaza health officials say nearly 30 Palestinians have been killed since the early stage of the ground invasion on Thursday.
Sources say the majority of the victims are civilians including infants, children, women and the elderly.
Figures show nearly 270 Palestinians have already been killed since Israel began the air and sea offensive on July 8. More than 2,000 Gazans have been also injured in the ongoing assault so far.
The UN says women and children make up a sizeable number of Palestinian fatalities caused by Israeli attacks on the besieged region.
Latest reports say both water and electricity supplies have been affected by the Israeli hostilities. Palestinian sources say the Israeli army has prevented technicians from making essential repairs to water supplies, while power has been cut off across a large part of the besieged enclave.
This is while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the army is preparing for a significant expansion of its ground offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu, who was speaking at a security cabinet meeting, said the assault is aimed at destroying tunnels dug by Palestinian fighters into Israel because they cannot be destroyed from the air.
However, he admitted that there is no guarantee for a complete success of the operation.
The Israeli security cabinet held its meeting on the eleventh day of airstrikes against Gaza. The security cabinet has also approved the draft of 18,000 new reserve soldiers, putting the total number at 66,000.
