GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israeli troops made their deepest advance into the Gaza Strip's most heavily populated area on Sunday, encountering increasingly fierce resistance from Islamic Hamas fighters as they warned civilians to stay clear of the battle zone.
Speaking to his Cabinet, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the country "is nearing" its goals, but that the offensive will continue despite global calls for a cease-fire, led by the U.N. Security Council.
Palestinian witnesses said Israeli troops moved to within one kilometer (half a mile) of Gaza City's southern neighborhoods, and within half a kilometer (a quarter mile) of the northern neighborhood of Sheikh Ajleen.
