TEL AVIV-Israeli troops pressed further into Rafah on Sunday but also engaged in fierce fighting in previously cleared areas around Gaza City, showing the difficulty of winning a decisive victory over Hamas as a guerrilla force.

More than 300,000 Palestinians have fled Rafah as the Israeli military expanded what it calls a targeted operation in the Gaza Strip's border city with Egypt. The worsening humanitarian crisis there heightens Israel's dilemma: The U.S. has warned against a full-scale assault on Rafah, packed with over a million civilians, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said Hamas's last fighting formations there must be defeated to "achieve total victory."
