However, the Israeli military said it “cannot discuss potential locations relating to our operations” because it could “compromise the troops.”
Israel launched an offensive in Gaza after Hamas fighters poured across the border on October 7, killing more than 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 240 hostages, according to Israeli officials.
Vowing to destroy Hamas, Israel retaliated with an aerial bombing and ground campaign that the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip says has killed more than 11,078 people, mostly civilians and many of them children.
