ISRAEL is preparing to seize all of Gaza and remain there for an unspecified length of time, officials say.
Tel Aviv has called up tens of thousands of soldiers as it readies itself for another invasion of the territory.

Officials said the new plan was meant to help Israel achieve its war aims of defeating Hamas and freeing hostages held in Gaza.
It also would push hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to southern Gaza, what would likely exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis.
Israel has killed hundreds as it has unleashed a bombardment on Gaza since a ceasefire with Hamas collapsed in mid-March.
It currently controls about half of the territory and is blocking humanitarian aid, like food and water, from reaching civilians.
The announcement comes after the Houthi terror group in Yemen hit Ben Gurion airport with a missile.
They’ve now threatened to launch more such strikes and warned airlines to cancel their flights to Israeli airports as they seek to impose an aerial blockade.
