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.
