Israel has launched a ground operation in Gaza: what is happening.

According to inkorr.com: Israeli forces entered the city of Gaza after powerful airstrikes that took place on Monday evening. According to Axios reports, Israel carried out massive airstrikes, and now a ground operation against Hamas has begun.

Objective of the operation

The main objective of this operation is the complete destruction of Hamas infrastructure in Gaza and establishing Israeli control over this territory. This is a new stage in the conflict that has been ongoing since October 2023. Civilians are urged to leave the northern areas to avoid danger. Thousands of people have already left the city, leaving it almost empty.

U.S. Support

After a meeting between Senator Marco Rubio and Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel received support from the United States for the implementation of this operation. However, the American side urged for a swift end to hostilities, stating that it does not plan to interfere in Israel’s decisions on the front in Gaza.

Challenges for the conflict parties

Israel's new military incursion into Gaza is accompanied by intense airstrikes and the beginning of the ground phase of the operation against Hamas, presenting new challenges for both sides of the conflict.

The situation in the region remains extremely tense. Israel's operations may lead to even greater escalation of the conflict, impacting the humanitarian situation in Gaza and affecting security in neighboring countries. At the same time, the U.S. position indicates support for Israel, while also highlighting the need to reduce the duration of hostilities.
