    Israel strikes outskirts of Gaza City during second ground raid

    • Israel strikes outskirts of Gaza City during second ground raid

    Israeli forces conducted another ground raid in Gaza in advance of an expected invasion of the Hamas-ruled territory. 

    U.S. warplanes, meanwhile, struck targets in eastern Syria after attacks on U.S. forces by Iran-backed fighters, adding to regional tensions fuelled by the three-week-old Gaza war.

    The Palestinian death toll passed 7,000 as Israel launched waves of airstrikes in response to the bloody Hamas rampage in southern Israel on Oct. 7. 

    More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, mostly civilians slain during the initial Hamas attack. 

    In addition, 229 people including foreigners, children and older adults were believed taken by Hamas during the incursion and remain in captivity in Gaza. 

    Four hostages were released earlier.
