JERUSALEM, Israel – The fighting between Israel and Gaza continued Friday with no signs of stopping. Israel is amassing thousands of troops along the Gaza border ahead of a possible ground invasion into the Hamas-controlled territory.
The military called up an additional 9,000 reservists to the Gaza frontier Thursday evening, a major signal that the conflict is escalating despite efforts by Egyptian mediators to broker a ceasefire.
Brig. Gen. Hidai Zilberman said tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery were being prepared “for mobilization at any given moment.”
