Inside Israel's Invasion of Gaza: Journalists Provide Latest Updates

Journalists were taken into northern Gaza to witness the extent of the Israeli military's advance in its war against Hamas. Thousands of troops have fought their way several miles south, reaching the outskirts of Gaza City and establishing control over the northern stretch of Gaza's coastal road. The Israeli army is moving closer to Gaza City, where bloodier battles are expected as Hamas fighters are believed to have entrenched themselves in a network of underground tunnels. Meanwhile, thousands of protesters gathered in Tel Aviv, demanding the Israeli government do more to bring home the hostages held in Gaza. Secretary of State Antony Blinken rebuffed calls for an immediate cease-fire, stating that it would allow Hamas to regroup and repeat its attack on Israel. France announced it would send two military flights with aid to Gaza, and thousands of demonstrators across the U.S. protested Israel's retaliation in Gaza, calling for a cease-fire and an end to the siege.
