Inside Gaza with the Israeli army

Jan 8 - A group of foreign television crews have been allowed into Gaza for the first time since the start of Israel's offensive, but restricted to accompanying Israeli troops.

The first footage captured by an embedded TV crew showed Israeli forces preparing for their entry and then crossing the border in tanks and armoured personnel carriers (APCs).

Once inside the Strip, the soldiers moved from house to house, with a muzzled dog, securing the locations.
