Netanyahu: Israeli Troops Enter Gaza in Israel-Hamas Conflict

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israeli forces have entered the Gaza Strip, marking the second stage of the war. The ground incursion, accompanied by intense aerial and artillery bombardment, is the longest and most ambitious since the conflict began. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening, with shortages of fuel, food, and water. Aid agencies are struggling to reach their staff members in Gaza due to the communication blackout. Pro-Palestinian protests have erupted worldwide, condemning Israeli strikes on Gaza and calling for a cease-fire. Clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah along the Lebanon border have also intensified, raising concerns of the war spreading to a second front.
