Israel’s Israel Defense Forces have carried out a second limited incursion into the Gaza Strip overnight. The operation, located near the Shuja’iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, involved infantry, combat engineering, and armored forces, with support from Israeli Air Force drones and combat helicopters. Following several hours, all Israeli forces exited the area, and no injuries have been reported from this operation. This marks the second consecutive night of IDF forces briefly entering the Gaza Strip, in anticipation of a potential full-scale ground offensive. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
