A video shows what appear to be Israeli tanks on a main highway in Gaza today as ground assault operations against Hamas intensify.<\/p>\n

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) earlier said more than ‘600 targets’ had been hit in 24 hours to pave the way for an increasing military presence on the ground with tanks, armoured vehicles, bulldozers and soldiers.<\/p>\n

Unconfirmed footage reportedly taken by a Palestinian journalist shows a tank facing off against what looks like an estate car on the main Salah-al-Din Highway today. The road runs the length of the Gaza strip from the Egyptian crossing at Rafah in the south to the Israeli Erez crossing in the north.<\/p>\n

In the video the car can be seen making a three-point turn seemingly to get away from the tank. Seconds later the tank appears to have opened fire and a large explosion can be seen engulfing the car.<\/p>\n

For security reasons the IDF have refused to comment on the locations of their forces inside Gaza and spokesman Daniel Hagari said: “We have expanded our operations, involving armour, infantry, and offensive actions within the Gaza Strip.”<\/p>\n

In the video taken by Palestinian photojournalist Youssef Al Saifi the tanks appear to be operating on the main highway, according to a Hamas spokesperson Israeli tanks have now “retreated from the area”.<\/p>\n

After filming the car being destroyed the journalist races away in terror in another car, screaming “Go back! Go back!” at an approaching ambulance and other vehicles.<\/p>\n

The Gaza Health Ministry later said three people were killed in the struck car.<\/p>\n
