| Israeli Army Begins Ground Operation in Gaza | | Israeli soldiers maneuver on the border on January 3, 2009, waiting to deploy into the Gaza Strip. Israeli tanks rolled into Gaza late Saturday and troops clashed with Hamas fighters in a step-up to an eight-day offensive that has killed hundreds of Palestinians and caused widespread destruction. The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon Saturday voiced his extreme concern and disappointment at the Israeli invasion into Gaza, and called for "an immediate end" to the military operation.
