Deep dives

Israeli military expands ground presence in Gaza

The Israeli military has deployed more troops, armor, and artillery in Gaza, signaling an expanded ground presence in the ongoing conflict. Hamas, with a large arsenal of rockets and anti-tank weapons, engages in guerrilla warfare against the Israeli army, the most powerful military force in the Middle East. Hamas aims to equalize the fight by using rockets to harm Israel and forcing street-level fighting in Gaza, utilizing underground tunnels and well-provisioned defense strategies. The lack of local information makes it challenging to gain a full picture of the conflict.
