"Unveiling Israel's Intense Ground Assault in Gaza"

Israel Defense Forces conducted a ground assault in Gaza, with the paratroopers of the 501st Airborne Brigade among the first forces to invade after a surprise attack by Hamas militants. The city of Beit Hanoun, previously populated by over 60,000 people, was completely deserted due to heavy bombardment. Israeli troops are closing in on Gaza City, triggering a mass exodus of residents waving white flags. Thousands of people have made the hourslong walk from the north to the south of Gaza, seeking safety. The future remains uncertain for Gaza residents as they face the ongoing conflict.
