A ground offensive would be launched on Gaza “when opportune and fit for our purposes,” IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus said in a daily briefing broadcast on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Israeli military’s goal was to reach Hamas in its network of tunnels and bunkers underneath the densely populated Gaza Strip, Conricus said. (dpa/NAN)
