Reports indicate that the Israeli army has entered the Gaza Strip, with officials from the army press service sharing that further details will be released in a forthcoming statement, as cited by the news agency TASS.
The Israeli Defense Forces are conducting operations in Gaza, and updates are expected as the military provides additional information through official channels, according to the same source.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an emergency session of the military-political cabinet, a gathering that brought together senior ministers in response to a significant rocket attack launched from Lebanese territory into northern Israel on 6 April.
Rising tensions in the north have occurred alongside ongoing strains in the south, where cross-border rocket fire from Palestinian groups has continued over the past two days, heightening the country’s security concerns in areas neighboring the Gaza Strip.
In Jerusalem, clashes around the Temple Mount have intensified, reflecting renewed friction between Palestinian communities and Israeli security forces after earlier incidents in the area.
Earlier remarks from Netanyahu at the security cabinet underscored a firm stance: no internal divisions within Israeli society should deter the country from countering its enemies, as the government outlined its policy and readiness to respond to threats.
