In Gaza, Israel has launched a major new offensive killing as many as 14 Palestinians overnight in the town of Khan Yunis. Dozens were injured. The raid came hours the Israeli cabinet approved details of a plan to withdraw Jewish settlers from Gaza next year. The plan will now go before the Knesset today. Meanwhile the United Nations is now estimating that 200 Palestinians and 13 Israelis have died over the past month making it one of the deadliest months of the intifada.
