JERUSALEM (Reuters) -As Israel seeks to expand its offensive in Gaza, a measure of how the country's mood has changed in the nearly two-year-old conflict is the discontent evident among some reservists being called up to serve once again.

The Hamas decision to accept the ceasefire came after Israel approved plans earlier this month to occupy Gaza City and expel more than 800,000 residents from their homes. Netanyahu took credit for what appeared to be a softening in the Hamas position, claiming the militant group was under “atomic pressure”.
