Israel’s ground forces are “expanding their military operations tonight.” The information was reported by the spokesman of the Israeli army, Daniel Hagari, quoted by the BBC.
The Israeli military is urging residents of Gaza City to move south.
Footage released by Reuters shows explosions on the border between Israel and Gaza.
The Israeli military claims that the air force “widely attacks underground targets”.
“In recent hours we have increased the attacks in Gaza. The Air Force has been attacking underground targets and terrorist infrastructure extensively, and very significantly,” said Army spokesman Daniel Hagari.
“Continuing to the offensive actions we have conducted over the past few days, ground forces are expanding ground activity tonight,” he added.
Hagari also stated that the Israel Defense Forces “are working hard in all directions” to achieve their military goals.
The special envoys of bTV in Israel, Petar Nanev and Krasimir Parvanov, also report on the extraordinary activity of many helicopters around the Gaza Strip. According to analysts, it is a landing that will drop soldiers by air.
The Palestinian telecommunications company Paltel claims there is a “total blackout” of communications and internet in Gaza. And Hamas retaliated with a rocket barrage in the direction of Ashdod, Sderot and Ashkelon, near the border with Gaza.
The group’s military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades, says it opposes an Israeli military ground invasion of the northern Gaza Strip.
The statement said “violent fighting” was taking place on terrain near Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza and Bureij in the center. No further details were given on the form of the clashes. The BBC cannot confirm this information.

Meanwhile, the White House says it is in active talks with Tel Aviv to introduce a humanitarian pause to allow the release of hostages.
At the same time, Israel urges not to believe “rumors of a breakthrough and deal” with Hamas and promises that when there is reliable information, it will be reported.
