The Middle East war between Israel and Hamas, which spans Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen, has reached its 535th day.
The long trail of blood from the Israeli offensive in the Strip has passed the tragic milestone of 50,000 dead, according to Hamas authorities.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army released images showing columns of tanks and armored personnel carriers moving south, as the 36th Division began preparations after months of operational activity in the north.
The IDF's largest armored division thus joined the Gaza division, which was already operating in the south.
The Washington Post reported yesterday, citing sources involved in planning the IDF operation in Gaza, that "a full invasion of Gaza would require up to five divisions on the ground," while reservists were skeptical about the fighting.
As calls to return to dialogue are rising from the squares in Israel and from world chancelleries, Netanyahu's government is continuing on the military front, with the IDF striking the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis, causing at least 5 deaths and many injuries.
Among the victims was Ismail Barhoum, whom Defense Minister Israel Katz identified as "Hamas' new prime minister in Gaza."
In Jerusalem, in front of Prime Minister Netanyahu's house, new clashes broke out between police and demonstrators who have been protesting for days against the resumption of attacks in the Strip. (A2 Televizion)
