According to an Israeli military spokeswoman, the nation is extending its ground operation in Gaza, using armored vehicles and troops, and supporting them with “massive” air and naval assaults. With a stepped-up bombardment on Friday night, Israel effectively cut off the 2.3 million people living in the Gaza Strip from the outside world and each other, resulting in a virtual information blackout. The military later announced that it was “expanding” ground operations in the region.
The Palestinian Health Ministry reports that Israel’s retaliation bombings on the besieged region have killed at least 7,326 individuals since the October 7 attack, the majority of them were civilians, including 3,038 children. On Friday, the UN unanimously urged safety for people and aid access to the beleaguered Gaza Strip, along with an emergency humanitarian ceasefire. India was one of the 45 nations that chose not to cast a ballot.
After Israel intensifies ground operations in Gaza, Hamas declares “full force.”
Following an increase in Israel’s military’s air and ground assaults on the Palestinian enclave, Hamas declared that its fighters in Gaza prepared to repel Israeli operations with “full force.” After Israel reported increased attacks in Gaza, the militant Palestinian organization that controls the territory announced earlier that its forces engaged in combat with Israeli troops in locations close to the Israeli border. Hamas released a statement early on Saturday stating, “The Al-Qassam brigades and all the Palestinian resistance forces are completely ready to confront (Israel’s) aggression with full force and frustrate its incursions.” – Reports
