Fighting rages on in Gaza City

Hamas rejects revised truce plan as nothing new’.

Heavy battles and bombardment hit Gaza City's Shujaiya district for a fourth day on Sunday, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged his forces were engaged in a "difficult fight".

Tens of thousands of Palestinians have fled the devastated neighbourhood, where the Israeli army said it has carried out raids and fought Palestinian militants "above and below ground" in tunnels.

Months of on-and-off talks towards a Gaza truce and hostage release deal have made little progress, with Hamas saying on Saturday that there was "nothing new" in a revised plan presented by US mediators.
