Direct clashes have broken out between Israeli soldiers and Hamas in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, as Israel's ground operations continues to intensify.

Israel's Defence Force said it had killed members of Hamas near the Erez crossing, marking some of the first direct clashes between the two groups since Hamas' terrorist attack on October 7, The Times reports. It is unclear how many members of Hamas were killed by Israeli soldiers. The Erez crossing was previously the only way out of the coast enclave in the Gaza strip that led into Israel.
