Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz decided Tuesday to gradually step up the operation in northern Gaza, where Palestinian militants routinely launched homemade rockets at Israel, defense officials said. Israeli troops and tanks conducted sweeps about 700 meters (half a mile) inside northern Gaza, looking to uncover explosives and tunnels, the army said. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)
