Hamas has said it is fighting Israeli forces in two areas inside the Gaza Strip, after Israel said it had extended ground operations in the Palestinian enclave, AFP reports.
“We are confronting an Israeli ground incursion in Beit Hanoun (in the northern Gaza Strip) and in east Bureij (in the centre) and violent engagements are taking place on the ground,” the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement.
