According to the military, Israeli ground troops are already positioned “deep inside the city of Gaza”. Pressure is mounting there, army spokesman Daniel Hagari said tonight. The day before, the spokesman said that the city of Gaza was completely surrounded. The Gaza Strip was divided into two halves.
In the past 24 hours, several commanders from Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, have been killed, Hagari said. Two of them were the masterminds of the massacre in Israel on October 7th.
Several underground tunnel entrances were also destroyed. Many of them are close to schools, hospitals and humanitarian facilities. Tanks and ground troops discovered a military installation with launch pads for 50 rockets near a mosque.
Meanwhile, Palestinian eyewitnesses reported damage to the roof of Al-Shifa Hospital following the Israeli attacks. Asked whether Israel would also attack the clinic, which the army says also serves as a Hamas command center, the spokesman said: “We will penetrate deeper into Gaza City and reach any place where there are terrorists.” where Hamas terrorists will be safe from army attacks.” “New means” are also being used to destroy the underground tunnels.
