What the minister said about the operation in Gaza
According to Galant, the IDF has completed one phase of the operation in Gaza and has moved on to a new phase.
According to the head of the Israeli defense department, this phase will continue until a new order.
Tonight the ground in Gaza shook. We struck on the ground and underground, attacked terrorists at all levels, in all places, – said the minister.
The night before, IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari announced the expansion of ground maneuvers in Gaza.
The military wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement said it had repelled a ground invasion by the Israeli army in the eastern part of the Al-Bureid refugee camp and called on Palestinians in the West Bank to demonstrate and fight with Israeli soldiers.
Later, IDF spokesman Peter Lerner clarified that the expansion of maneuvers does not mean the start of a ground operation in Gaza.
Today, the IDF press service reported that it carried out 150 strikes overnight against underground targets in northern Gaza.
Hamas today announced the failure of Israel’s attempt to attack Gaza from three directions.
