Israel Makes an Hours-Long Raid Into Northern Gaza, Prepping for Ground Invasion and a Years-Long Effort To Root Out and Destroy Hamas
‘The campaign will soon ramp up with greater force,’ says former premier, Benny Gantz.
RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli troops and tanks launched an hours-long ground raid into northern Gaza overnight, the military said, striking several terrorist targets in order to “prepare the battlefield” before a widely expected ground invasion after more than two weeks of devastating airstrikes.
The raid came after the United Nation warned that it’s on the verge of running out of fuel in the Gaza Strip, forcing it to sharply curtail relief efforts in the territory, which has also been under a complete siege since Hamas’ bloody rampage across southern Israel ignited the war earlier this month.
