After the IDF said earlier it was expanding its ground operations in the Strip, Palestinians in Gaza report IDF ground forces including tanks are operating within the enclave.

There are reports of heavy exchanges of fire between the soldiers and gunmen.

The reports can not be immediately verified. There is no comment from the IDF.

Earlier the Air Force carried out extensive bombardment of the Strip, apparently in preparation for the latest ground incursion.
