According to international media reports, Israeli forces attempted an incursion into Gaza on Sunday night, which was thwarted by Hamas. Israel's first major ground assault on Gaza ended in failure.
Reportedly, Israel has crossed all boundaries in its bombardment, targeting land, airspace, and the sea, resulting in the worst bombing in recent history. The Al-Qassam Brigades have repelled the attackers, and Hamas leader Ali Baraka stated that the militants welcomed the invaders with Yassin missiles and Kornet rockets, causing heavy casualties and financial losses to the invading forces.
According to reports, the Israeli army has acknowledged that it attempted to infiltrate the Gaza Strip during the night to obtain information about Israeli prisoners of war and to destroy Hamas's armed positions.
The Israeli army's spokesman stated that the identities of 222 Israeli prisoners held in Gaza are known, but this is not the final count.
In response to Israeli attacks, Hamas has launched retaliatory actions, firing rockets into Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities. The Iron Dome once again failed to intercept Hamas rockets, and multiple Israeli targets were hit in Tel Aviv.
