Israel, which entered the ‘second phase of the war’ on the ground, occupied part of the northern part of the Gaza Strip, which is ruled by the Palestinian armed group Hamas, and then a fight broke out between the two sides near the ‘Gaza Metro’, an underground tunnel built by Hamas. The Israeli military announced on the 29th, “We saw dozens of Hamas members coming out of the tunnel,” and Hamas also acknowledged the fact of the collision, showing that the ground war has begun in earnest.
On the 30th, the Israeli military struck approximately 600 targets, including Hamas weapons warehouses and hideouts. Residents and hospital staff remaining in the northern Gaza Strip were again asked to evacuate to the south.
In addition, in a post posted on social media The Israeli military announced, “In the north, we neutralized a number of terrorist organizations in Lebanon and blocked moves to launch anti-tank missiles,” and added, “In the south, we are also blocking Hamas’ drone attacks and carrying out defensive activities for additional ground warfare.”
Hezbollah announced in a statement on the 29th that Supreme Leader Sayed Hassan Nasrallah will deliver a speech at 3 p.m. on the 3rd of next month. Nasrallah has been silent since the outbreak of the Seven-Day War. Attention is focused on whether Hezbollah, which has been engaged in local warfare with Israel since the beginning of the war, will use today’s speech as an opportunity to officially declare its participation in the war.
