Video: Current Attack by IDF in Gaza May Be the Strongest Since Escalation of Conflict

The current assault by Israel on the Gaza Strip may be the strongest since the escalation of the conflict. Footage circulating on social media depicts intense rocket fire from the IDF.

Media outlets speculate that this could mark the beginning of an Israeli ground operation in the region. According to Palestinian sources, there have been complete disruptions of communication and internet access in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian telecommunications company has confirmed the total shutdown of connectivity and internet services in the area.

A representative of Hamas stated that Israel has "cut off communication and most of the internet" in Gaza. A CNN correspondent reports that Israeli artillery and tanks are active along the border of the strip.
