Welcome to continuing coverage of israel at war. A short time ago, we received this new video showing israeli tanks and Military Personnel near the border with gaza. The idf said today, it is increasing airstrikes on gaza and its Top Commander told forces quote, we will enter the gaza strip. Last hour, the International Spokesman for the idf told me the general spirit is one of Combat Readiness and resolve for what needs to be done.

Many are unrecognizable. This was annou
Likely a prelude to a new stage of conflict with incredibly high stakes for israel, the palestinians and for the United States and the world. Air strikes in gaza have intensified today ahead of a possible Ground Invasion intended to crush hamas. Nbcs ellison barber captured this video of a steady stream of tanks about two miles from the border with gaza. U. S. Secretary of state Antony Blinken was in israel today reiterating the yaunts decades long and steadfast commitment to israel. Here is what he had to say about the conflict ahead.
