BREAKING: Israel's Minister of National Security says invasion of Gaza is imminent
— The Spectator Index (@spectatorindex) October 11, 2023
Hezbollah says it will enter the war when Israel invades Gaza.
This warning was relayed via Egyptian channels to Tel-Aviv on October 9.
via Reuters:
Israeli warplanes bombed Gaza repeatedly overnight ahead of a possible ground offensive to root out Hamas, while U.S. President Joe Biden described the Palestinian militant group’s surprise assault on Israel as ‘sheer evil’ and issued a warning apparently aimed at its Iranian backers.
Israel said dozens of its fighter jets struck more than 200 targets in a neighbourhood of Gaza City that it said had been used by Hamas to launch its unprecedented wave of attacks.
Israeli troops have killed at least 1,000 Palestinian gunmen who infiltrated from Gaza in incursions that began at the weekend, and have reinforced all communities in Israel as hostilities spread to other fronts, the military said.
