Israel said to okay expanded Gaza op, call up of more reservists during meeting led by PM

During security consultations hosted this evening by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel okayed plans to expand the fighting in Gaza that will necessitate the enlistment of tens of thousands of reservist troops, according to Hebrew news outlets.

The reports indicate the expanded operation will be limited in nature and not involve occupying large swaths of Gaza.

The cabinet is expected to convene Sunday so ministers can approve the plans.
