As we've been reporting, Israel launched "extensive ground operations" in Gaza over the weekend, as part of what it calls Operation Gideon's Chariot.
The military said on Sunday there were five divisions operating in the Gaza Strip, aiming for "complete control" in "the places where we operate". It said it was moving the population from areas of fighting.
Meanwhile, Israeli air strikes continued overnight, where hospitals say more than 100 people were killed in the past day. Sites targeted included the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, the southern city of Khan Younis, and the Jabalia refugee camp.
The Israeli military said on Sunday "the only thing that will stop us is returning the hostages home". There are 58 hostages in Gaza, up to 23 of whom are believed to be alive.
