IDF Expands Gaza Ground Operations


(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - The IDF continued its ground operations in Gaza throughout Saturday, warning residents of Gaza City that the area was now a "battlefield" and urging residents to "evacuate immediately" to the south. Also Saturday rockets launched from Gaza hit the central cities of Kiryat Ono and Holon. Rockets hit homes in Ramat Gan, Beersheba, and Ashdod. There were no casualties in any of the incidents. The IDF said it had killed the head of Hamas' aerial forces, Issam Abu Rukbeh, responsible for managing drones, paragliders, aerial detection systems and air defenses, who played a role in the planning and execution of the Oct. 7 onslaught by Hamas. It also killed the commander of Hamas' naval forces of the Gaza City Brigade, Rateb Abu Sahiban, who planned and commanded Hamas' foiled infiltration attempt via the sea on Oct. 24.
