Israeli ground forces enter Gaza; Netanyahu says war ‘will be difficult and long’; Saudi defence minister to visit White House. Follow updates here.
Israel started its long-expected ground invasion of Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warning of a “long and difficult” war against the militant group Hamas that has stoked concerns of a broader Middle Eastern conflict. Israel said fighter jets struck over 450 military targets belonging to Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the past day. These included operational command centres, observation posts, and anti-tank missile launch posts, the military said in a post on X.
Ground forces directed Israeli military aircraft towards targets. Israel’s northern border was calm but tense on Sunday morning, following exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah the previous evening. Israel’s military said it struck Hezbollah targets in neighbouring Lebanon in response to three rocket launches on Saturday.
