Israeli military says troops make first ground raids into Gaza
JERUSALEM - Israel said its infantry and tanks had carried out raids inside the Gaza Strip on Friday, its first announcement of a shift from an air war to ground operations to root out Hamas fighters a week after their deadly rampage in southern Israel.
Hamas, which controls the densely populated Palestinian territory, vowed to fight until the last drop of blood. The Israeli military said a significant number of Gazans had begun moving southwards "to save themselves". "The noose around the civilian population in Gaza is tightening. How are 1.1 million people supposed to move across a densely populated war zone in less than 24 hours?" UN aid chief Martin Griffiths wrote on social media.The International Committee of the Red Cross said it would be impossible for aid organisations to assist "such a massive displacement of people in Gaza" while it remains under Israeli siege.
Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority that is a rival of Hamas, told U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Jordan that the forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza would constitute a repeat of 1948, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were driven from what is now Israel. Most Gazans are the descendants of such refugees.
"We are fighting for our home. We are fighting for our future," Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said, meeting US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who came a day after Secretary of State Antony Blinken. "The path will be long, but ultimately I promise you we will win."
