A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip held on Saturday as Egyptian mediators pressed on.
The Hamas tunnel operation started with the deployment of Israeli ground forces that were prepared and staged on the Gaza fence border on Thursday for a potential ground offensive. The preparation efforts by the Israeli army reportedly prompted Hamas commanders to instruct masses of the terrorist group’s members to enter the tunnels to get ready for the ground attack. This was exacerbated by confusing statements from the IDF spokesperson unit that “air and ground troops are currently attacking in the Gaza Strip.”
