Israel is expanding its ground operations in the Gaza Strip after hours of
intense airstrikes, Daniel Hagari, Israel Defense Forces spokesman, told
reporters Friday. The United Nations has warned that Gaza’s 2 million residents
face a humanitarian catastrophe. Israel’s announcement came amid a “total or
near total” internet blackout, the largest single disruption since hostilities
began Oct. 7, according to internet monitoring groups. Washington Post and Al
Jazeera reporters said they had lost contact with colleagues inside the besieged
enclave.

HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW:

A war surgery team and a weapons contamination specialist arrived in the Gaza
Strip on Friday, along with six trucks carrying urgently needed aid, the
International Committee of the Red Cross said — the first time in this war that
an international medical team enters the besieged Palestinian territory. The
ICRC said this was “a small dose of relief.”
In Egypt, the army said an unidentified drone fell by a hospital in the coastal
town of Taba, near the border with Israel, injuring six people. Israel said the
incident appeared to be caused by an “aerial threat” it had detected in the Red
Sea area.
Israeli attacks have killed at least 7,028 people in Gaza and wounded more than
18,400, the Gaza Health Ministry said. Israeli authorities said more than 1,400
people have been killed in Israel and more than 5,400 injured since Hamas’s
attack Oct. 7. At least 32 U.S. nationals are among those killed.

ISRAEL-GAZA WAR

Israeli tanks, amid explosions and falling shells, surrounded overcrowded
hospitals in Gaza City on Friday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said
Israel does not “seek to occupy Gaza,” marking a shift in tone after his
previous comments that raised red flags in the Biden administration. Understand
what’s behind the Israel-Gaza war.

Hostages: Officials say Hamas militants abducted about 239 hostages in a highly
organized attack. Four hostages have been released — two Americans and two
Israelis — as families hold on to hope. One released Israeli hostage recounted
the “spiderweb” of Gaza tunnels she was held in.

Humanitarian aid: The Palestine Red Crescent Society said it has received over
370 trucks with food, medicine and water in the Gaza Strip through Egypt’s Rafah
crossing. However, the PRCS said, there hasn’t been permission yet to bring in
fuel to power the enclave’s hospitals, water pumps, taxis and more.



Israeli-Palestinian conflict: The Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip has a complicated
history, and its rulers have long been at odds with the Palestinian Authority,
the U.S.-backed government in the West Bank. Here is a timeline of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
