Inside Israel's Invasion of Gaza: Journalists Witness Combat Zone as Blinken Visits Jordan

Israeli military leaders allowed a small group of foreign journalists into northern Gaza to witness the extent of their advance as they continue their invasion against Hamas. The Israeli army has fought its way several miles south, reaching the outskirts of Gaza City and establishing control over the northern stretch of Gaza's coastal road. The northern coastline, once a quiet seafront, is now a giant Israeli military camp with wrecked buildings and signs of battle. The Israeli military 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. Israel has urged civilians in the northern part of Gaza to head south, offering a four-hour window for safe passage, but the evacuation has been met with challenges and skepticism. France has announced plans to send two military flights with emergency humanitarian aid to Gaza, and tens of thousands of people rallied in the US in support of Palestinians, demanding an end to the siege and an end to US aid to Israel.
