The military released grainy images on Saturday showing tank columns moving slowly in open areas of the territory.
Israel has expanded its ground operation in Gaza, sending in tanks and infantry backed by massive strikes from the air and sea.
This largely cut off the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people from the world while enabling the Israeli military to control the narrative in a new stage of fighting. “We moved to the next stage in the war,” defence minister Yoav Gallant said in remarks broadcast on Saturday. Early in the war, Israel had already amassed hundreds of thousands of troops along the border. Until now, troops had conducted brief nightly ground incursions before returning to Israel.
Residents had no way of calling ambulances and emergency teams were chasing the sounds of artillery barrages and airstrikes to search for people in need. More than 1.4 million people have fled their homes, nearly half crowding into UN schools and shelters.Aid workers say the trickle of aid Israel has allowed to enter from Egypt in the past week is a tiny fraction of what is needed.
