Israeli Defense Minister Joav Galant said “the ground in Gaza was shaking.” This is intended as a signal that the conflict has entered a new phase.
Israel has expanded its ground operations in the Gaza Strip, deploying tanks and infantry, supported by massive air and naval strikes.
This was announced by Israeli Defense Minister Joav Galant, who noted that “the ground in Gaza was shaking” and that the war with Hamas had entered a new phase. His words are quoted by the Associated Press.
– We have moved on to the next phase of the war. The ground shook in the Gaza Strip last night. We attacked above ground and underground… The instructions for the army are clear. The campaign will continue until further notice, the Defense Minister said.
A new phase of the war
The bombardment, which Gazans called the most intense of the entire war, destroyed most communications in the Gaza Strip. This left the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million residents largely cut off from the world, while the Israeli army was able to keep the situation under control in a new phase of hostilities.
Underground facilities are a major target of Israeli attacks. According to the Gaza Strip Ministry of Health, the death toll among Palestinians rose to more than 7,700 on Saturday. Since Friday evening, October 27, 377 deaths have been registered alone. According to the ministry, most of the dead were women and minors.
Israel says its attacks target Hamas fighters and infrastructure, and that militants operate among civilians, endangering them.
More than 1.4 million people fled their homes, with almost half taking refuge in schools and UN shelters. Aid workers say the small amount of aid Israel allowed into Egypt last week represents only a fraction of what is needed. Hospitals in Gaza are looking for fuel for emergency generators that power incubators and other life-saving equipment.
