Israel said Friday it is ratcheting up its military operations in the Gaza Strip, launching artillery and missile strikes into the Hamas-controlled enclave and sending tanks and other armored vehicles across the border.
“In recent hours we have increased the attacks in Gaza,” Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, an Israel Defense Forces spokesman, said in an interview on Israeli television. “In continuation of the offensive activity we carried out in the last few days, the ground forces are expanding the ground activity this evening.”
“The IDF works powerfully in all dimensions in order to achieve the goals of the war,” Adm. Hagari said.
