"Israeli Offensive in Gaza Escalates as War Goals Fade"

A grandfather in Gaza has described how Israeli soldiers entered the school where his family was sheltering and began shooting indiscriminately, killing nine people, including children. The Israeli military says it is looking into the incident, which raises further questions about Israel's rules of engagement in a conflict that has resulted in a high number of civilian deaths. The killing of three hostages escaping Hamas in Gaza has also sparked outrage and prompted an acknowledgement by Israeli officials that the soldiers involved did not follow designated rules of engagement.
