"Israel's Ground Assault on Gaza Imminent as Palestinians Seek Safety"

Israel is preparing for a ground assault on Gaza as Palestinians attempt to flee the area or seek refuge in hospitals, following Hamas militants' deadly attack in Israel. Israel has intensified warnings of an imminent offensive by air, ground, and sea, while dropping leaflets and using social media to urge Gaza residents to move south. Hamas, on the other hand, is urging people to stay in their homes. The United States is sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean to deter hostile actions against Israel, and Iran has warned of "far-reaching consequences" if Israel's actions are not stopped. Israeli strikes have also targeted the airport in Syria's government-held city of Aleppo, injuring five people.
