The news reported that the Israeli army conducted a targeted raid in Gaza with ground forces, fighter jets, and drones, as they prepared for a possible ground invasion.
During this operation, they targeted various sites, including anti-tank missile launch locations, military command centers, and Hamas members. The troops left the area after completing the operation. This followed a similar ground operation in the northern part of Gaza the previous night. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had stated earlier that Israel was preparing for a ground offensive.
In the past, there were incidents involving Hamas militants entering Israel from Gaza, resulting in casualties and kidnappings. The conflict has led to a significant number of casualties in Gaza, including many civilians and children.
