New Delhi: Israeli tanks on Thursday entered the North Gaza which they describe as a "targeted raid" that hit "numerous terrorist cells, infrastructure and anti-tank missile launch posts".
Israel Defense Forces said that a column of tanks and infantry had launched an overnight raid into Hamas-controlled Gaza, striking "numerous" targets before retreating to home soil.
The military announced the incursion into the north of the Palestinian territory hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared preparations for a ground war were underway.
Black-and-white video footage posted by the military showed a column of armoured vehicles and bulldozers winding toward what appeared to be a border fence and breaking through it.
