Israel Launches Large-Scale Ground Assault on Gaza City

What Happened?

The Israeli military has commenced a large-scale ground assault on Gaza City, which it claims is the last remaining stronghold of Hamas fighters. ‘Last night, we transitioned into the next phase, or the main phase, of the plan for Gaza City,’ an Israeli military official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. 

One Gaza resident, speaking by phone to the associated press, described the new offensive in detail: ‘The explosions never stopped: airstrikes, artillery fire, drones, helicopters. They came from every direction. It felt like the whole city was under fire.'

Why it Matters

Gaza City is a major segment of the Gaza Strip, where many Palestinians had previously taken shelter, but also where the Israeli military claims Hamas fighters are still located. Israel’s government approved a plan to occupy Gaza City in early August, and the approval sparked an exodus of Palestinians from the area.

“Apple used to really bring out products that would blow people’s minds.”

Elon was right, Apple isn’t innovating, it’s just recycling.

The new iPhone? Thinner. Lighter. Familiar.

It sells.

But specs don’t change unit economics. Benefits do.

So while Apple keeps releasing new versions of the same thing, Mode Mobile innovates.*

What’s different about this assault is the scope and scale, with Israeli ground forces working in concert with air assets such as jets and helicopters. It appears to be the largest ground operation launched by Israeli forces since the Gaza War began in 2023. Since the Israeli cabinet approved the plan to occupy Gaza City, Israel has been warning Palestinians to leave the area, but it is likely there are still thousands there. 

There was concern in Israel that the ground assault on Gaza City could endanger Israeli hostages who may still be held there. The new operation also poses considerable danger to Palestinians, and the new attack comes on the heels of a United Nations committee report that accused Israel of committing genocide, a charge that Israel continues to deny. 

Hamas had spent years constructing hundreds of miles of tunnels beneath the Gaza Strip, so it is possible there are still sizeable numbers of Hamas fighters who escaped previous Israeli military operations. The new ground assault on Gaza City is specifically designed to locate and destroy those forces. 

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio left for Qatar after a brief visit to Israel this week. Mr. Rubio’s visit to Qatar was likely an attempt to defuse anger at Israel’s strike on Hamas leaders in Doha.  Qatar is home to Al Udeid, a major U.S. base and logistics hub for operations in the Middle East.  If Qatar revoked the lease agreement for U.S. forces to operate there, it would be a major blow to American military forces in the region.

How it Affects You

The new Israeli ground assault on Gaza City is a stark reminder that despite international calls for de-escalation, the exact opposite is happening in Gaza. Israel believes the new operation could land the knockout blow against Hamas, but the attack could also further damage Israel’s reputation around the world.
