Israeli tanks entered the edge of Gaza City and cut a key road from the north to the south of the war-torn Palestinian territory, witnesses told AFP.

The witnesses said tanks were seen in the Zaytun district. “They have cut the Salahedin road and are firing at any vehicle that tries to go along it,” said one resident.
