Israeli troops to see Gaza ‘from the inside,’ Israel’s Defense Minister says

A long-anticipated Israeli ground incursion into the embattled Gaza Strip has yet to materialize, a week since the Israel Defense Forces instructed civilians in Gaza City to evacuate southward — but the offensive could take place imminently, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant signaled on Thursday.
  • “Be ready, the order will come,” he told infantry troops rallied at the Gaza border, according to NBC News. “And those who now see Gaza from afar will see it from the inside. I promise you. Good luck.”
Earlier in the week, the IDF’s Lt Colonel Richard Hecht had told reporters that the next stages of Israel’s war against Hamas could be “something different” from a ground campaign, without disclosing further details.

Yoav on Thursday added that Israel’s military efforts will aim for the “total annihilation of Hamas organization — terror infrastructures, everything that has to do with terrorists and whoever sent them.”

Israel has repeatedly stated it only target is to remove the military abilities of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, following the Palestinian militant group’s attacks of Oct. 7. Human rights groups have drawn alarm bells over the exacerbating humanitarian crisis in the embattled Gaza enclave, which has been placed under “complete siege” by Israel and deprived of the country’s fuel, water, electricity and food resources.

Top U.S. and European officials and heads of state have visited Israel to show solidarity, entreat no further escalations and broker humanitarian corridors for the safe passage of civilians stranded in Gaza.
