Explosions in Northern Gaza as Israel Expands Ground War

Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Explosions in Northern Gaza as Israel Expands Ground War” – below is their description.

Multiple explosions could be seen in northern Gaza on Friday night after the Israeli military said that its ground forces would expand its activities in the Hamas-ruled territory. The announcement came hours after Israel’s defense minister said the country expected to launch a long and difficult ground invasion of the Gaza Strip.

Shortly before, communication services in the territory were also cut. The Palestinian death toll in Gaza passed 7,300, and in the occupied West Bank, more than 100 Palestinians have been killed in violence and Israeli raids since October 7.

More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, mostly civilians slain during the initial Hamas attack. Also, 229 people were taken hostage during the incursion and remain in captivity in Gaza.
