PROTESTERS in Israel yesterday set fire to tyres, blocked major roads across the country and demanded a ceasefire that would free hostages still held in Gaza, as Israeli leaders pressed ahead with plans for an offensive which they argue is needed to crush Hamas.

The disruption came as Palestinians in Gaza braced for the expanded offensive against a backdrop of displacement, destruction and parts of the territory plunging into famine. It also came a day after deadly strikes against Gaza's main hospital killed 20 people, including medics and journalists, among them Mariam Dagga, a journalist who worked for the Associated Press.

Further Israeli strikes killed at least 16 Palestinians yesterday, hospitals in Gaza have said.
