Israel Begins Gaza City Ground Offensive


(Washington Post) Abbie Cheeseman - The Israeli military launched the early stages of a ground offensive to seize Gaza City on Monday night, an Israeli military official said Tuesday. "Last night, we transitioned into the next phase, or the main phase, of the plan for Gaza City. We are moving deeper toward the center of Gaza City," the official said. Over the past month, Israel has been warning the residents of Gaza City to leave and head south toward the Mawasi humanitarian zone. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that Israel is "going to get to decide how they want to proceed because they're the ones that were attacked on Oct. 7....We don't like war. The president doesn't like war. The only thing worse than a war is a protracted one that goes on forever and ever. At some point, this has to end."
