It’s been 20 days since Hamas terrorists launched a surprise carnage in Israel that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,400 people and the abduction of 224 hostages. Israel said Thursday the ground raids in Gaza will continue in the next few days as it prepares for an all-out ground incursion.
Around 900 U.S. troops have been deployed or are on their way to the Middle East to boost protection for American personnel and their families in the region as the conflict intensifies. Iran warned the U.S. that it won’t be spared “from this fire” if Israel doesn’t stop its retaliation against Hamas.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society said 12 humanitarian aid trucks entered Gaza through the Rafah border crossing Thursday.
