Stepping out of the Israeli armoured personnel carrier, the sound of gunfire was immediate. So too was evidence of the destruction from four weeks of war inside Gaza. Journalists living in the Palestinian territory have been reporting on the ground from the beginning, but this is the first time Israel has allowed media to enter with its troops to see their operation.
As we walked through the building, heavy gunfire could be heard. A second officer said two suspicious individuals had been spotted and Israeli troops had opened fire. He also described some of the operations that had been conducted, including targeting a network of underground tunnels used by Hamas to launch attacks on Israeli forces. 'We go to search a tunnel in the east section over there,' he said. 'We find two tunnels and now we're going to destroy them.
