Israel said that its ground forces were battling Hamas fighters deep inside Gaza’s largest city, signalling a major new stage in the month-old conflict.
The Israeli military was operating "in the heart" of Gaza City and "tightening the noose" around Hamas, the Palestinian terror outfit, which rules the Strip, there, the country's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said on Tuesday.
Gallant’s statement came as the Israeli military said its forces in Gaza began to locate and disable Hamas's vast tunnel network underneath the besieged Palestinian enclave.
