Israel's military says it now has operational control of the Gazan side of the Rafah border crossing. It says it took action following intelligence that the crossing was being used for terrorist purposes. As that operation inside Rafah unfolds - negotiations are expected to get underway in Egypt on a proposed cease-fire deal. Israel refused plan put forward by Qatari and Egyptian mediators, saying it doesn't meet its demands. Hamas had earlier agreed to the draft deal -- a small step towards possible peace that triggered celebrations inside the Gaza Strip.
