Israel launches overnight ‘unprecedented bombardment’ on Gaza as invasion starts
ISRAELI tanks and troops stormed into Gaza last night to battle Hamas in a "rolling start" to a full-scale invasion.
The north of the tiny Palestinian enclave was relentlessly blitzed by airstrikes and artillery under the cover of darkness as power and communication were cut off for millions.
Israel is seeking to destroy the Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas after they killed - and in many cases butchered - 1,400 men, women and children on October 7.
Overnight, the IDF also released footage that claims to show the airstrike that killed the head of Hamas’s aerial array.
Israel claims that the man killed was responsible for the paraglider attack carried out by the terrorist group on October 7.

Israel launches ‘unprecedented bombardment’ on Hamas in Gaza as invasion looms
ISRAEL has launched an "unprecedented bombardment" on Hamas from land, air and sea as the long awaited ground invasion looms.
The IDF confirmed they are "expanding ground operations" tonight as they blitz the strip, which has been cut off from all communication.
Gaza faces attacks from land, air and sea as Netanyahu's forces appear to be launching the full scale attack.
Tank fire and "unusual, intense and sustained" military activity was also reported by CNN for the past couple of hours.
Footage shared by Al Jazeera on Twitter appears to show the renewed attacks on Gaza as a journalist cowers from the blast live on air.
And UK defence sources did not deny when asked by The Sun that an Israeli ground strike could be imminent.
Israeli Naval Vessels are reportedly also Shelling the Nort...

Israeli tanks & bulldozers storm Gaza in hit & run raid to blast Hamas ahead of invasion
Israel wiped out "numerous" Hamas terrorist cells overnight as tanks rolled over the border into Gaza in the biggest incursion so far.
Footage showed tanks, troops and bulldozers storming into northern Gaza in a dramatic "targeted raid" ahead of a full-scale ground invasion.
Israel's bulldozers can be seen clearing the way for armoured vehicles to cross the border before a huge column of tanks roll down a road.
The footage shows tanks firing on several targets "in preparation for the next stages of combat".
A huge plume of smoke can be seen pouring into the night sky as Israeli troops blast a target near a built-up area.
It's understood Israeli forces are preparing the ground in Gaza by making sure entry points aren't mined, wiping out Hamas outposts, and gathering intelligence.

Airstrikes bombard Gaza border after Israel raid ‘prepares battlefield’ for invasion
AS THE temperature increased yesterday, so did the frequency of the blasts across northern Gaza.
With the mercury heading towards 100F in the deserted Israeli border town of Sderot, the blasts in the besieged enclave less than a mile away were coming every couple of minutes.
At one stage an air strike clearly caused a major fire in the northern Gazan city of Beit Hanoun when a huge plume of black smoke rose into the sky.
Around 30,000 people normally live there, but it’s impossible to know how many remain and were trying to shelter from yesterday’s relentless bombardment.
Israel has told them to flee south to stay safe, but Hamas is accused of preventing them from doing so.
The terror group is said to be planning to use them as human shields in a bid to deter the inevitable ground ass...

Netanyahu reveals Israel is preparing for ground invasion of Gaza
Israel is preparing a ground invasion of Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised statement on Wednesday (October 25), but he declined to provide any details on the timing or other information about the operation.
He said the decision on when forces would go into the Palestinian enclave, controlled by the Hamas terror group, would be taken by the government's special war cabinet, which includes the leader of one of the centrist opposition parties.
"We have already killed thousands of terrorists and this is only the beginning," Netanyahu said.

Israel Hamas war - Day 21: What we know so far
ISRAEL launched an "unprecedented bombardment" on Hamas and confirmed troops are "expanding operations" on the ground tonight.
Gaza was relentlessly blitzed in a series of air strikes - cutting off power and communications - as the prospect of a massive ground invasion loomed.
Netanyahu's air and ground forces are ramping up their resources ahead of an imminent invasion, Israel's chief military spokesperson said this evening.
"In addition to the attacks carried out in the last few days, ground forces are expanding their operations tonight," Daniel Hagari said.
Hagari did not elaborate on exactly what this would mean but the announcement followed two consecutive nights of incursions into Gaza using tanks.

Aerial footage of Israel striking Hamas targets as it pledges 'unrelenting attacks'
The Israeli military released surveillance footage on Tuesday (October 24) of what it said were several air strikes in Gaza, as it said it was preparing for "unrelenting attacks" to dismantle Hamas.
In a statement accompanying the video, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it struck dozens of Hamas gunmen preparing to fire rockets, while its fighter jets had struck dozens of buildings and "Hamas staging grounds". It added that several Hamas commanders had been killed.
The Hamas run Palestinian health ministry said the Gaza death toll had topped 5,000 in two weeks of Israeli air strikes in response to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel in which the Islamist terror group killed more than 1,400 people.
On Monday (October 23), the Hamas run Gaza health ministry said 436 people had bee...

Israeli tanks continue to station at Gaza borders as ground invasion looms
ISRAELI tanks continue to line the border with Gaza on Saturday (October 21) as a ground invasion looms.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "fight until victory" in Gaza, signalling no pause in his military's retaliatory bombardment and expected invasion of the enclave.
The terrorist group Hamas which governs Gaza went on a deadly rampage through Israeli towns and kibbutzes on October 7, killing 1,400 Israelis and taking scores of hostages.

Israeli military confirms ground forces have expanded operations in Gaza
Israeli air and ground forces are stepping up operations in the Gaza Strip, Israel's chief military spokesperson said on Friday (October 27), amid reports of heavy bombing of the besieged enclave, where internet and mobile phone services were cut off.
"In the last hours, we intensified the attacks in Gaza," Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told a televised news briefing.
He said the air force was conducting extensive strikes on tunnels and other infrastructure.
"In addition to the attacks carried out in the last few days, ground forces are expanding their operations tonight," he said, raising expectations that the long-anticipated ground invasion of Gaza may be beginning.

Israel's defence minister Yoav Gallants today said they expected to launch its invasion of Gaza soon, destroying Hamas' underground web of tunnels.
Al Jazeera reporter Tareq Abu Azzoum claimed the strip had been completely cut off from communication with the rest of the world.
They said: "We don't know anything about what's happening in other districts in the territory. We don't know how many victims there are.
"We only hear the bombing everywhere, but we don't know anything about the victims, about the situation on the ground," according to the Times of Gaza.
"Please, if you can hear us, send that message to the world that we are now isolated in Gaza. We don't have any phone signals. We do not have any internet connections."
Defence forces have spent almost two weeks at the border, waiting for the green light to wipe out Hamas in what is likely to be a difficult and bloody conflict.

AS THE temperature increased yesterday, so did the frequency of the blasts across northern Gaza.
With the mercury heading towards 100F in the deserted Israeli border town of Sderot, the blasts in the besieged enclave less than a mile away were coming every couple of minutes.
At one stage an air strike clearly caused a major fire in the northern Gazan city of Beit Hanoun when a huge plume of black smoke rose into the sky.
Around 30,000 people normally live there, but it’s impossible to know how many remain and were trying to shelter from yesterday’s relentless bombardment.
Israel has told them to flee south to stay safe, but Hamas is accused of preventing them from doing so.
The terror group is said to be planning to use them as human shields in a bid to deter the inevitable ground assault.
That is both desperate – and futile.
As me and photographer Ian Whittaker witnessed yesterday near the Gaza border, the Israelis have no intention of pausing their offensive.
Grainy, night-vision footage released by the Israel Defence Forces showed a column of armoured bulldozers and tanks entering the terrorist’s lair.
Accompanied by infantry units, the tanks blasted a series of Hamas locations including anti-tank missile launch posts before retreating from the strip.
A number of terrorists were killed in the mission, according to Israeli military chiefs.
It came just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged that the “ground incursion” was coming – and described Hamas fighters as “dead men walking”.
The air strike continued alongside the targeted raid yesterday with 250 targets hit – and there was no sign of a let up as dawn broke.
The Sun watched as the intensive Israeli bombardment carried on through the day with air strikes hitting the northern Gazan city of Beit Hanoun.
A huge pall of black smoke rose from the city streets and spread over the northern stretch of the narrow strip of land.
The smoke cleared to reveal an entire neighbourhood had been left devastated with dozens of buildings destroyed or on the verge of collapse.
Beyond the wreckage, minarets at two mosques were still standing.
The city – with a population of 32,000 before Israel urged Palestinians to flee to avoid airstrikes – lies less than a mile from the southern Israeli city of Sderot.
It is not known how many obeyed the order after Hamas urged residents to stay in their homes.
There were also fears that the terror group is using innocent Palestinians as human shields after a recording was released by Israel revealing Hamas fighters were blocking roads.
Repeated booms could be heard across the scrubland which is all that separates the two cities – along with the 20ft-high security fence.
Sderot itself has been turned into a ghost town after 30,000 residents were evacuated following the Hamas terror attack on October 7.
The only people left there now are the world’s press with cameras permanently trained on the densely populated Gaza strip in the distance ready for the ground assault to begin.
PM Netanyahu made it clear in his television address on Wednesday that it was a case of when not if the invasion takes place.
But ahead of the full-scale assault, a limited incursion was staged a short time after he addressed the nation.
A column of Merkava tanks, armed with a 120mm cannon, two remote-controlled roof mounted machine guns and a mortar, followed them through the security fences.
They then moved into nearby residential areas where Hamas terrorists have tried to blend in with the local population in the biggest incursion into the besieged enclave since the war began
The raid – which lasted several hours – was designed to soften up the enemy as well as gathering intelligence on Hamas locations and battle capabilities ahead of the ground assault.

ISRAELI tanks and troops stormed into Gaza last night to battle Hamas in a "rolling start" to a full-scale invasion.
On Saturday 28 October, footage of Israeli tanks in Gaza was released by the IDF, claiming its ground forces had entered the enclave.
The north of the tiny Palestinian enclave was relentlessly blitzed by airstrikes and artillery under the cover of darkness as power and communication were cut off for millions.
Israel is seeking to destroy the Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas after they killed - and in many cases butchered - 1,400 men, women and children on October 7.
Some 300,000 troops have been massed by the IDF since the massacre and columns of armoured vehicles have encircled Gaza over the past few weeks, in preparation for the ground offensive that has been launched overnight.

The north of the tiny Palestinian enclave was relentlessly blitzed by airstrikes and artillery under the cover of darkness as power and communication were cut off for millions.
Israel is seeking to destroy the Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas after they killed - and in many cases butchered - 1,400 men, women and children on October 7.
Some 300,000 troops have been massed by the IDF since the massacre and columns of armoured vehicles have encircled Gaza over the past few weeks, in preparation for the ground offensive that has been launched overnight.

ISRAEL launched an "unprecedented bombardment" on Hamas and confirmed troops are "expanding operations" on the ground tonight.
Gaza was relentlessly blitzed in a series of air strikes - cutting off power and communications - as the prospect of a massive ground invasion loomed.
Netanyahu's air and ground forces are ramping up their resources ahead of an imminent invasion, Israel's chief military spokesperson said this evening.
"In addition to the attacks carried out in the last few days, ground forces are expanding their operations tonight," Daniel Hagari said.
Hagari did not elaborate on exactly what this would mean but the announcement followed two consecutive nights of incursions into Gaza using tanks.
Tank fire and "unusual, intense and sustained" military activity has been heard for several hours, according to CNN.
Meanwhile, Orange flames lit up the night sky as heavy bombardment was seen on the Israel-Gaza border.
Israel have said that the intensified attacks on Gaza were an attack on "underground targets".
An IDF spokesman said: "We are ready to defend in all arenas to protect Israel's security interests and committed to the national mission of returning all the abductees."
The spokesman also urged civilians in Gaza to move south for their safety with explosions on the strip continuing into the night.

Aerial footage of Israel striking Hamas targets as it pledges 'unrelenting attacks'

The Israeli military released surveillance footage on Tuesday (October 24) of what it said were several air strikes in Gaza, as it said it was preparing for "unrelenting attacks" to dismantle Hamas.
In a statement accompanying the video, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it struck dozens of Hamas gunmen preparing to fire rockets, while its fighter jets had struck dozens of buildings and "Hamas staging grounds". It added that several Hamas commanders had been killed.
The Hamas run Palestinian health ministry said the Gaza death toll had topped 5,000 in two weeks of Israeli air strikes in response to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel in which the Islamist terror group killed more than 1,400 people.
On Monday (October 23), the Hamas run Gaza health ministry said 436 people had been killed in bombardments over the previous 24 hours, most in the south of the coastal enclave next to which Israeli troops and tanks have massed for a possible ground invasion.

Israeli air and ground forces are stepping up operations in the Gaza Strip, Israel's chief military spokesperson said on Friday (October 27), amid reports of heavy bombing of the besieged enclave, where internet and mobile phone services were cut off.
"In the last hours, we intensified the attacks in Gaza," Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told a televised news briefing.
He said the air force was conducting extensive strikes on tunnels and other infrastructure.
"In addition to the attacks carried out in the last few days, ground forces are expanding their operations tonight," he said, raising expectations that the long-anticipated ground invasion of Gaza may be beginning.
Israeli forces have massed outside Gaza, where Israel has been conducting an intense campaign of aerial bombardment since a deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel by the Islamist movement Hamas.
Earlier on Friday, Palestinian mobile phone service provider Jawwal said that services including phone and internet had been cut by heavy bombardment.
