The Israeli troops and tanks launched a brief ground raid into northern Gaza overnight into Thursday. Israel’s military stated that they are striking several militant targets in an effort to prepare the battlefield ahead of the widely expected ground invasion following more than two weeks of devastating air raids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recent brief ground incursion followed after the UN warned it is on the verge of running out of fuel in the Gaza Strip, compelling it to sharply curtail relief efforts in the territory, which has also been under a complete siege since Hamas group rampage across southern Israel ignited the war earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the Israeli military, which accuses Hamas of operating among civilians, said its strikes killed militants and destroyed military targets. The Gaza militants have also fired unrelenting rocket barrages into Israel since the conflict started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reports stated that the military asserted that during the overnight raids on Thursday, soldiers struck fighters, militant infrastructure and anti-tank missile launching positions. Nonetheless, there were no immediate reports of casualties on either side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Gaza Health Ministry said that more than 6,500 Palestinians have been killed in the war. Furthermore, the ongoing conflict has killed more than 1,400 people in Israel, mostly civilians slain during the initial Hamas attack, according to the Israeli government. In addition, Hamas holds nearly 222 hostages in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per reports, Gaza’s population has also been running out of food, water and medicine. Approximately, 1.4 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents have fled away from their homes, with nearly half of them crowded into the U.N. shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent days, Israel has allowed a small number of trucks with aid to enter from Egypt but barred deliveries of fuel that are needed to power generators, mentioning that it believes Hamas will take it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
