Israel Hamas War: Israeli forces continue ground operations in besieged Gaza Strip

A top Israeli army commander said on Tuesday (November 7) that Israeli Defense Forces troops were operating "in the heart of Gaza City" for the first time in decades.

Commanding Officer of the Southern Command, Major General Yaron Finkelman said he had just returned from the battlefield in Gaza City. Israeli forces have given civilians still trapped inside the freshly encircled Gaza City a four-hour window to leave.

In some of the first direct comments on Israel's plans for the future of Gaza after the war, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel would take over responsibility for the territory's security once it defeats the terrorists.

The war began on Oct. 7 when Hamas terrorists burst across the border fence and killed 1,400 Israelis, mostly civilians, and abducted more than 200, according to Israeli tallies. Since then, Israel has unrelentingly bombarded Hamas-run Gaza, killing more than 10,000 people, around 40 percent of them children, according to tallies by health officials there.
