A Hamas official has said that Israeli forces were making “aggressive” incursions into Gaza City, after the military approved the framework for a new offensive in the territory, AFP reports.
“The Israeli occupation forces continue to carry out aggressive incursions in Gaza City,” Ismail Al-Thawabta, director general of the Hamas government media office in Gaza, told AFP.
“These assaults represent a dangerous escalation aimed at imposing a new reality on the ground by force, through a scorched earth policy and the complete destruction of civilian property. “
