"Israeli Ground Forces Raid Hamas Sites in Gaza, Sparking Destruction and Mounting Death Toll"

Israeli ground forces, specifically the Givati Brigade, conducted a limited incursion into Gaza, targeting terrorists, terror infrastructure, and anti-tank missile launch posts. The incursion was part of preparations for the next stages of combat. The IDF also carried out airstrikes on 250 Hamas targets overnight, bringing the total airstrikes this week to around 1,000. The rocket fire from Gaza has reduced, but the IDF urges Israelis to remain vigilant. The IDF continues to purchase equipment and receive support from the US, while facing growing international pressure regarding humanitarian issues in Gaza.
