Halifax District RCMP Seek Public Assistance to Identify Driver | SaltWireJERUSALEM -
By moving slowly, the army also hoped to secure Israeli forces' flanks and bait Hamas fighters to come out of the tunnels or denser urban areas and engage Israeli forces in open areas where they could be more easily killed, said a former senior commander who declined to be named. In the three weeks since the Hamas attack, Israeli air strikes have pulverized large swathes of Gaza, killing more than 8,000 people including more than 3,000 children, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, and cutting off supplies of food, medicine and fuel.
On Saturday, Benny Gantz, a former defense minister who is now in Netanyahu's war cabinet, said"in this war there is no diplomatic ticking clock". Backed by helicopters and drones, tanks and armoured personnel carriers have pushed into the semi-rural area to the north of Gaza City, the enclave's main urban centre.
Hagari said more infantry and armoured forces backed by artillery and combat engineers had been sent in and were manoeuvring on the ground and engaging Hamas fighters. He declined to confirm any troop locations. On Oct 29, Israeli forces operating adjacent to the Erez crossing"identified a number of terrorists exiting the shaft of a tunnel in the Gaza Strip".
Israeli military forces are aware of the dangers with heavily built up areas in Gaza and the dangers of sending in broad forces.
