Israeli Forces Conduct Brief Raid in Gaza as Full-Scale Invasion Looms

Israeli forces conducted an overnight ground raid into the northern Gaza Strip as part of preparations for a full-scale invasion, while airstrikes continue to drive up the civilian death toll. The consequences of the airstrikes have been catastrophic for the 2.3 million people trapped inside Gaza, with over 1.4 million people displaced and the healthcare system on the verge of collapse. Aid agencies and many countries in the region have warned that an Israeli ground incursion will result in even greater loss of civilian life.
