Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that a ground invasion is a matter of when, not if.
“In preparation for the next stages of combat, the IDF operated in northern Gaza. IDF tanks & infantry struck numerous terrorist cells, infrastructure and anti-tank missile launch posts. The soldiers have since exited the area and returned to Israeli territory,” the IDF wrote on X.
Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson reported that this particular mission appeared to be a “major operation.”
“Definitely haven’t seen anything this large so far in the 19, now 20, day-old war,” Tomlinson said.
Fox News’ Trey Yingst reported that the Israeli military is still expected “to launch a full-scale invasion” in the near future.
Additionally, the International Legal Forum has filed a complaint with the International Criminal Court, calling for an investigation into war crimes committed during Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.
