Israel to summon 16,000 reserve troops
The order followed Wednesday's five-hour meeting of the cabinet, which voted to push forward and increase the military operation in Gaza, as Operation Protective Edge entered its 24th day Thursday.
According to the Palestinian health ministry, more than 1,360 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,600 injured, most of them civilians, in the hostilities.
Fifty-six Israeli soldiers have died and 120 injured since the start of Israel's ground incursion into Gaza July 17.
Three Israeli civilians have also been killed in the ongoing clashes.
