Israel’s army has said it turned 30 per cent of Gaza into a “security” buffer zone and struck around 1,200 “terror targets” since resuming its military offensive in the Palestinian territory on March 18, AFP reports.

“Approximately 30pc of the Gaza Strip’s territory is now designated as an Operational Security Perimeter,” the military said in a statement, adding that Israeli air strikes had hit “approximately 1,200 terror targets” and that “more than 100 targeted eliminations have been carried out” since March 18.
