The Israeli military, which is waging a ground war in the Gaza Strip to eradicate the Palestinian armed group Hamas, released photos and videos of ground forces operations.
On the 31st (local time), the Israeli military posted a 22-second video and two photos on “We attacked a Hamas terrorist outpost in the north of the Gaza Strip,” he said.
In the released video, an Israeli tank fires artillery at a high place, raising dust. It also showed soldiers checking a city area that had been turned into ruins by an air raid, and an armored vehicle passing by on a road paved by heavy equipment. Israeli soldiers can be seen entering the building through the windows, and a soldier with a machine gun can be seen watching the tank maneuver.
On this day, the Israeli military did not disclose the specific location and route of ground forces operating in the Gaza Strip.
However, the British BBC reported, “From what I heard within the Gaza Strip, Israeli tanks and armored vehicles are steadily advancing toward Gaza City.” The media added, “I understand that the Israeli military has passed through the northern suburbs of Gaza City, and that one of the two armored vehicles is traveling from the north of Gaza City along the coast, and the other is passing through the middle of Gaza City and heading south to Gaza City.” .
An Israeli soldier captured in a video of the ground battle in the Gaza Strip released by the Israeli military. Israeli Army X (old Twitter) captureHamas spokesman Abu Ubaydah warned Israel, which is expanding its ground operations in the Gaza Strip, that “the Gaza Strip will become a graveyard for Israeli troops,” Reuters reported.
“We have informed the mediators that we will release a certain number of foreign hostages in the next few days,” he said in a video statement posted on Telegram. Currently, negotiations between Israel and Hamas are being mediated by Qatar, which is friendly to both sides.
Hamas is demanding the release of about 6,000 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel in exchange for the release of those they kidnapped.
It is estimated that there are about 200 Israeli and foreign hostages detained in the Gaza Strip due to the war triggered by Hamas’ surprise attack on the 7th.
