Israel's expanding its military occupation of Gaza - forcing more than a million Palestinians out of Gaza City. 

Israel's security cabinet's approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan - in a nine hour meeting today.

It involves moving Palestinians out of the main population centres - and into compounds in southern Gaza. 

Israeli journalist Haggai Matar told Heather du-Plessis Allan that Israel already controls over 85 percent of Gaza - and forbids Palestinians from going into it.  

He says it's basically pushing Palestinians into smaller areas of land - mostly areas that have been uninhabited and are very difficult to sustain life on.
