Israel says 'Gaza is burning' as it launches huge ground assault
- On Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces launched ground maneuvers within Gaza City as a component of Operation Gideon's Chariots II aimed at targeting Hamas fighters.
- The offensive follows nearly two years of conflict triggered by the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and abducted 251.
- Israeli troops began maneuvers overnight involving two divisions entering from the west while others encircle the city amid heavy bombardment and mass evacuations.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu announced the commencement of a significant military campaign in Gaza, while IDF spokesperson Adraee cautioned that remaining in Gaza City poses serious risks.
- The operation has drawn international condemnation including a U.N. genocide accusation, which Israel rejected as "distorted and false," while the offensive likely delays ceasefire prospects and heightens the humanitarian crisis.
