"Israeli Troops Launch Second Ground Raid into Gaza, Escalating Tensions"

Israeli troops have conducted a second ground raid into Gaza, targeting Hamas positions and tunnel networks. The raid was supported by armoured vehicles, aircraft, and artillery fire. Fresh bombardments before dawn resulted in the deaths of dozens, including children and a journalist. Aid workers are preparing to send humanitarian supplies into the territory, but the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has called for a humanitarian ceasefire to ensure uninterrupted aid flow. The EU has called for "humanitarian corridors and pauses" in the bombing, while concerns about the fate of hostages held in Gaza have softened Israeli public support for a full ground invasion.
