Israel Hamas War : Jets Strikes Gaza In Israel Weighs Ground Attack
Read Time:1 Minute, 36 Second
Israel Defense Forces said the country’s political leadership hasn’t yet decided on a ground invasion of Gaza, though the army is preparing for one. Earlier Thursday, Israeli jets hit key targets in Gaza after the nation vowed to wipe Hamas “off the face of the Earth” and the new unity government signaled a major land offensive.
“I say here, to everyone — we will wipe out this thing called Hamas,” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The address came hours after Secretary of State Antony Blinken headed to Israel to show US support.
The conflict has killed at least 2,400 people in total on both sides so far. The US has cautioned its citizens against traveling to Israel.
Germany received an Israeli request for Heron drones and on Wednesday decided to make two of the unmanned aerial vehicles available, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius told reporters in Brussels before a meeting of NATO defense ministers. Israel also asked for ammunition and medical equipment, Pistorius added. “We’re standing by Israel’s side,” Pistorius said, adding “We should all do everything and anything to avoid and escalation in the region.”
