Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s comments pointed to a potentially grueling and open-ended new phase of the war, three weeks after Hamas’ bloody incursion into southern Israel sparked relentless bombardment in Gaza. Israeli troops carried out a second ground raid into Gaza in as many days, striking the outskirts of Gaza City.
The Palestine Telecommunications Company, Paltel, announced “a complete disruption of all communication and internet services” due to bombardment. The Red Crescent said all landline, cellular and internet communications were cut off and it lost all contact with its operations room and medical teams. It said it feared people would no longer be able to contact ambulance services. The Associated Press’ attempts to reach people in Gaza did not go through.
More than 1,400 people were slain in Israel during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, according to the Israeli government, and at least 229 hostages were taken into Gaza. Palestinian militants have fired thousands of rockets into Israel, including one that hit a residential building in Tel Aviv on Friday, wounding four people.
Little is known about Hamas’ tunnels and other infrastructure, and the military’s and Gallant’s claims couldn’t be verified. Over the past week, Israel has allowed more than 80 trucks with aid enter from Egypt through the Rafah crossing – including 10 trucks of food, medicine and other supplies Friday morning. The convoys meet only a tiny fraction of Gaza’s needs amid a worsening humanitarian collapse.
The military said the soldiers exited the territory without casualties. It reported an earlier raid into northern Gaza on Thursday.
