Israel said its troops are fighting inside Gaza City as they move toward its heart from the north and south, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country could keep security control over Gaza for an “indefinite period,” suggesting a longer-term role in the besieged territory.
Israel is willing to delay its ground invasion of the Gaza Strip if Hamas will release a large number of hostages, which could give the IDF more time to formulate an assault plan.
