Israel-Gaza: Intense gun battles reported in southern Gaza | BBC News

Fierce Israeli tank fire and air strikes have been continuing in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, which Israel sees as a stronghold of Hamas. Residents have reported intense gun battles between Israeli troops and Hamas fighters there. The UN said that the volume of aid reaching the territory remains "woefully inadequate".

Israel has strongly rejected the allegation, calling it "baseless". Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news #Israel #Gaza #BBCNews
