It's hard to believe anyone was talking of a ceasefire in the pipeline a few days ago. Today, Israeli tanks rolled deep into Gaza City. Overnight, Israeli officials say 60 targets were struck. A few hours after the U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon pleaded for both sides to "just stop now," the Israeli military operation is in full swing. Meantime, Hamas officials say they will not back down, and several rockets have been fired into Southern Israel. In total, 971 Palestinians – a third children – have been killed in the offensive. Thirteen Israelis have died during the same time period, ten of them soldiers. Posted by: CNN Anchor, Hala Gorani
