The Israeli Armed Forces (IDF) are preparing for the next stage of the war, which is a ground operation in the Gaza Strip, which has released a video showing for the first time Israeli tanks invading the Gaza Strip.

According to the Israeli forces during the night they carried out a “targeted raid” in the northern part of the Gaza Strip with infantry and tank forces.

They say the troops hit numerous terrorists, infrastructure and anti-tank guided missile launch sites.

After the “targeted raid” the troops left the area and returned to an Israeli stadium, the IDF says.
