The Guardian – Israel stages raid into Gaza as new phase of war begins 

The Guardian says Israeli forces entered a new phase of their war against Hamas in Gaza, launching a “substantial but limited raid” into the territory. 

Infantry, tanks and armoured bulldozers moved in overnight and carried out an hours-long on Hamas positions in the north of the territory, the paper says. It adds that the Israeli military says the operation was designed to “search for tunnel systems and test Hamas’s responses”.
