Israeli troops have begun a ground invasion into Gaza, marking a shift in the conflict that has been ongoing for more than three weeks. The exact objectives and movements of the Israeli military remain undisclosed, as military censors closely monitor the information released. However, it is becoming apparent that this is not a targeted raid, but rather a broader assault aimed at destroying Hamas and installing a new governing entity in Gaza. Israeli forces are progressively advancing into the strip, inch by inch, searching for and dismantling Hamas booby traps and tunnels. Currently, they are primarily operating at the outskirts of Gaza City and surrounding refugee camps, but the question remains: what will happen when they enter these densely packed urban areas? Analysts anticipate intense and bloody urban combat. Meanwhile, there are concerns about the impact of the conflict on the Muslim vote in the US and President Biden's response to the conflict. Representative Pramila Jayapal warns that Biden's stance may risk losing support from US Muslims. On the other hand, the White House says that Israel has a responsibility to protect innocent civilians in Gaza despite Hamas using them as human shields. With the conflict escalating, it seems that Israel is crossing a threshold in its offensive against Gaza.
