Four Israeli soldiers killed last night, all by friendly fire. 3 were killed by a tank firing on a building used by the soldiers, killing 3 and wounding 24, one critically. Very high-ranking officers were there, and make up some of the injured, including  the commander of the Golani Brigade, Colonal Avi Peled.

No expelling, just warning some who live in areas which will be bombed to get out if they value their lives. There were also one or two incidents of using a house to base themselves in for a short period of time, which is of course is absolutely necessary.
Concerning the journalist situation, the IDF explained themselves that it was a security risk. As I'm sure you'd agree, it's best to leave such operational decisions to the experts on the ground. Anyway, from yesterday, journalists were allowed in attached to IDF units.

By the way, unlike an earlier porter said, the rockets have not been landing in areas captured by Israel in 1967. They have been landing in areas which are part of Israel as much as Tel Aviv is Israel.

I seriously don't get what people want. Do you think Israel should have only killed 13 Palestinians? Do you seriously think Israel were trying to 'punish' Palestinians, trying to get 'revenge'? If that would be the case, you could claim it was disproportionate.
That was not Israel's aim. Israel were trying to stop rocket attacks, or at least drastically reduce rocket stockpiles, and destroy infrastructure used to send said rockets. In that case, any response they believed necessary, however unfortunate, is legitimate. Proportionate in this case is anything that can achieve these legitimate objectives.
