Israel Defense Minister says Gaza offensive expands, to seize 'large areas'

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday that the military was expanding its operations in Gaza to seize "large areas" after it resumed its offensive in the Palestinian territory last month.

Israel's operation in the Gaza Strip "is expanding to destroy and clear the area of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure, and to seize large areas that will be incorporated into Israeli security zones," he said in a statement.
