A report from Gaza city reveals the brutal next phase of the war
ISRAEL’S GROUND offensive is entering a dangerous new stage, ten days after it began. On November 5th the Israel Defence Forces unleashed a series of devastating air strikes in and around Gaza city. The goal was to damage Hamas’s tunnel networks; now Israeli troops are advancing into the city centre where they believe Hamas’s underground headquarters is located. Israel has simultaneously been blocking Gaza’s telephone networks and imposing a communications blackout on the enclave.
Even the veteran Israeli field commanders who fought in the previous rounds of warfare in Gaza are unfamiliar with some of the areas they reached by the end of the first week of this ground operation. At an advanced brigade command-post beside a ruined villa in the northern part of Gaza city, one lieutenant-colonel had to consult his hand-held digital tactical map to remind himself which neighbourhood his tanks were in. His chief concern was being ambushed from concealed tunnel exits.
