GAZA CITY, Gaza (CNN) -- The rumble of artillery fire and the roar of ensuing explosions continued to roll through Gaza early Tuesday despite pronouncements by an Israeli official earlier that the military operation may be in its final days.
Israeli tanks rolled into Gaza City from the al-Karramah neighborhood in the northwest and the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in the northeast, approaching the headquarters of Hamas' preventative security building.
But after the respite, the explosive sounds that punctuated the nighttime hours underscored a resumption in offensive operations.
"We are tightening the encirclement of the city," Brig. Eyal Eisenberg, commander of the Israeli offensive, told a small group of reporters brought in to Gaza to observe the deployment.
"We are not static. We are careful to be constantly on the move," Eisenberg said.
