GAZA/JERUSALEM, Oct. 31 (Xinhua) -- The Israeli troops entered the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday and were stationed in the Al-Tawam area and Al-Karama neighborhood in the Palestinian enclave, the Hamas-run Interior Ministry said.
Ministry spokesperson Iyad al-Bozzom added that some Israeli army vehicles advancing towards al-Rasheed Street appeared to be in a move to cut off Gaza City and the north from the south.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that its army had "fierce battles" against Hamas "deep in the Gaza Strip."
The IDF noted that, during the past day, Israeli troops attacked hundreds of military targets of Hamas, including anti-tank missile and rocket launching posts below shafts and military compounds inside underground tunnels, and killed "numerous" Hamas militants.
Yaron Finkelman, head of the IDF Southern Command, issued the attack order, telling the Israeli troops entering Gaza that "everyone is looking at us now ... you are the generation of victory," according to an IDF post on the social media platform X.
Israel launched massive strikes on Gaza in retaliation for the Hamas surprise attack on Oct. 7 that killed more than 1,400 people in Israel.
Since then, 8,525 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in the Israeli attacks, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said Tuesday.
Among the victims, 3,542 were children and 2,187 were women, ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qedra said in a statement. ■
