Israeli forces have made significant advances into the Gaza Strip, cutting off key roads and effectively isolating Gaza City and the northern camps from the rest of the strip. An Israeli armored personnel carrier was destroyed near the Gaza Strip, and a civilian vehicle came under fire from an Israeli Merkava. The Israeli Army has penetrated 6 km deep into the central Gaza Strip and set up a roadblock on Salah Al Deen road. The goal of the advance appears to be encircling Gaza City, the strip's biggest population center.
