00:00 Israel's military said they had conducted limited ground raids into the Gaza Strip overnight
00:09 to fight Hamas fighters.
00:11 The army said the strikes were aimed at destroying sites where Hamas was assembling to attack
00:15 Israel.
00:16 Israel's military added that their airstrikes were focusing on sites where Palestinian militants
00:22 were assembling to attack any wider Israeli invasion.
00:26 In a televised briefing, Israel's military spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari,
00:31 said that the country's ground forces carried out some raids inside Gaza.
00:37 He said that the raids had been conducted by the armoured and infantry battalions.
00:41 "During the night, there were raids by tank and infantry forces.
00:45 These raids are raids that kill squads of terrorists who are preparing for the next
00:49 stage in the war," he said, describing incursions that went deep into Gaza.
00:54 He also said the Israeli forces were trying to find information on missing hostages.
00:58 Over 200 people were taken hostage by Hamas operatives when they infiltrated and attacked
01:03 cities in southern Israel on October 7.
01:06 In retaliation, Israel has pummeled the Hamas-controlled Palestinian territory with airstrikes for
01:11 over two weeks and is also mobilising troops along the Gaza border for a ground offensive.
01:16 The Israeli military said it had hit over 320 military targets in the Gaza Strip over
01:21 the past 24 hours.
01:24 The terror targets struck included tunnels containing Hamas terrorists, dozens of operational
01:29 command centres and Islamic Jihad terrorists, military compounds and observation posts,
01:35 the army said in a statement.
01:37 Ezzeldin Al Qasem Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said in a statement issued on Sunday
01:42 that its forces had engaged with an armoured force infiltrating east of Khan Yunis in the
01:47 southern region of Gaza and the fighters had returned to base.
01:51 Hamas engaged with the infiltrating force, destroying two bulldozers and a tank, and
01:55 forced the first to withdraw before they returned safely to base, the statement said.
02:00 There was no immediately Israeli comment about the destruction of Israeli equipment or vehicles.
