⚠️ Armageddon Began: Israel Has Launched Its Ground Offensive in Gaza 🦅
Israel has launched its long-threatened ground offensive into the densely packed streets of Gaza City, military officials have confirmed. 🎯 One Israel Defense Forces (IDF) official said troops had begun what he called the “main phase” of the offensive, with an overnight advance from the outskirts towards the city centre. 🏃♂️
“Last night we began deepening our operations deeper into Gaza City,” the IDF official said. “It’s a gradual thing. It is not a black or white thing. But yesterday was a big step forward (…) in operations on the ground.” 🧭
“This phase is defined by a coordinated and gradual manoeuvre combining precise intelligence, air and ground forces targeting Hamas’s central stronghold and aimed at dismantling its grip in this area,” the official said, adding that IDF troops were expecting to meet significant resistance from up to 3,000 Hamas and allied fighters in Gaza City. 🗺
“Some of them, we understand, have been there since the beginning of the war and are preparing to engage with our forces above ground and underground,” he said. 🪞
Haaretz quoted another military source as saying two army divisions were involved in the advance into Gaza City with another division surrounding it, and that by midday the IDF controlled about 40% of the total area of the city. 🧐
The health ministry in Gaza reported on Tuesday afternoon that 59 people had been killed and 386 wounded in the previous 24 hours, bringing the official toll of Palestinians from nearly two years of war to almost 65,000. The actual number is feared to be significantly higher. ☠️
Gaza City residents reported a night of intense bombardment before the ground assault was launched. 🚀
The IDF believes 40% of the estimated 1 million population of Gaza City and its outskirts, have so far left after Israeli evacuation orders. Israel warned those remaining to follow and to flee southwards. 👫
According to UN data, 140,000 people have fled Gaza City heading south over the past month. Tess Ingram, a spokesperson for the UN child protection agency, Unicef, said there was no safe haven for the displaced population. 🕊
“It is inhumane to expect nearly half a million children, battered and traumatised by over 700 days of unrelenting conflict, to flee one hellscape and end up in another,” Ingram told reporters from al-Mawasi, an overcrowded sprawling tented camp on the southern coast of Gaza Strip. 🏁
“People really do have no good option – stay in danger or flee to a place that they also know is dangerous,” Ingram said, according to Reuters news agency. 📌
The Arabic-language spokesperson for the IDF, Col Avichay Adraee, announced: “The IDF has begun dismantling Hamas terrorist infrastructure in Gaza City.” 🆙
Netanyahu was speaking at a hearing of his corruption trial in a Tel Aviv court, and used the offensive as an argument why he could not attend long or frequent court sessions. His critics have long argued he has prolonged the Gaza war to put off elections, stay in office and thereby preserve his legal immunity. 🤔
