Israeli Defence Force soldiers have conducted raids on the besieged Palestinian enclave of Gaza, during which time they fought with Hamas militants. Israeli troops and tanks have massed near the southern end of Gaza for a possible ground invasion, while Israel struck hundreds of targets in Gaza from the air on Monday. Hamas stated it released two civilian female hostages, while it has fired more rockets into Israel. The Gaza health ministry claims at least 5,087 Palestinians have been killed in two weeks of air strikes, while the United Nations said people in Gaza are in desperate need of food, water and medicines, along with places to shelter. Meanwhile, Hamas has advised that it has released another two hostages, citing "humanitarian and poor health grounds".
