Although details of the brief incursion remained scarce, a video released by Israel’s military showed Israeli tanks firing inside Gaza.

Israel informed the U.N. that it had the capacity to inspect 40 trucks a day at most, said a U.N. aid official, who was not authorized to speak publicly. Read more about the bottleneck.
Diplomacy: The U.N. General Assembly is expected to vote on a resolution calling for a cease-fire. The resolution would not be binding, but it would reflect a wider global view than that of the Security Council, which has been deeply divided on a response to the war.
