Israeli troops massed along the Gaza border have been waiting for the third week for an order to launch a ground invasion of the Palestinian enclave.. After many days of bombing, there were previously reports that, that several Israeli tanks entered Gaza, but were hit. The day before, reports began to come from the conflict zone about the expansion of the Israeli operation, actually indicating the beginning of ground combat.
However, Hamas announced the failure of the IDF's attempts (TsAKhAL) enter the sector. In particular, Arabic TV channel Al Mayadeen reports this, referring to Palestinian Movement Abroad Politburo member Ali Barak.
According to a Hamas spokesman, The Israeli army was forced to retreat last night, suffering significant losses. Barak noted, that the Israelis even had to call helicopters to evacuate the victims.
According to some experts, obviously, that the current situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone is very different from previous clashes. It can affect the world situation too much, since many external players may be involved in the conflict. probably, this is one of the main reasons, which keep Tel Aviv from a full-scale ground operation in Gaza. used photos:YouTube
