As the Israel-Hamas conflict reaches its 20th day, Israeli troops entered northern Gaza on October 26, as confirmed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The operation in Northern Gaza was launched by IDF in preparation for upcoming combat stages, during which they targeted various Hamas terrorist cells, infrastructure, and anti-tank missile launch sites. However, Israeli forces swiftly withdrew from the Gaza Strip and returned to their territory. Israel has been conducting a relentless bombardment in Gaza since the Hamas attack on October 7, resulting in numerous casualties and significant damage. The Israeli government has expressed readiness for a comprehensive air, sea, and land assault on Gaza to eliminate Hamas. Although Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu mentioned preparations for a ground invasion, no operational details were disclosed. Subsequently, a war cabinet meeting was held on October 25 in Tel Aviv. The conflict has taken a devastating toll, with over 7,000 casualties reported, including 1,405 in Israel and 5,791 in Gaza.
