Daniel Hagari, the army’s spokesman, said Israel is ‘acting with great force’ to destroy Hamas.
The Israeli military has said its ground forces are “expanding their activity” in the Gaza Strip, as the army moved closer to a full ground invasion of the besieged territory.
Yoav Gallant described a campaign that will require dismantling a vast network of tunnels used by the territory’s militant rulers. After three weeks of war sparked by a bloody Hamas incursion into southern Israel, the Palestinian death toll has soared past 7,300, according to officials in Gaza. Services were cut on Friday evening following a heavy round of Israeli air strikes that lit up the sky over the territory.
Palestinian militants have fired thousands of rockets into Israel, including one that hit a residential building in Tel Aviv on Friday, injuring four people. Mr Gallant said Israel believes that Hamas would confiscate any fuel that enters. He said Hamas uses generators to pump air into its hundreds of miles of tunnels, which originate in civilian areas.
She added: “We have been bringing fuel into Gaza in coordination with the government of Israel for decades. We know fuel is a high-risk item and are working with the Israelis to make sure what we will be using for our operations is done securely.
The military said the soldiers exited the territory without suffering any casualties. It reported an earlier, hours-long raid into northern Gaza on Thursday. Hundreds of thousands remain in northern Gaza, despite Israel ordering them to evacuate to the south and saying that those who remain might be considered “accomplices” of Hamas.
