Israelis Run for Cover as Sirens Sound in Tel Aviv | VOA News

Air raid sirens sounded in Israel’s Tel Aviv on Saturday evening, as fighting between Israel and Hamas intensified.

Israel's expanded ground operation continued Saturday with infantry and armored vehicle forays into Gaza and massive strikes from the air and sea.

"We are advancing in the stages of war. Last night, IDF [Israel Defense Forces] entered the Gaza Strip and expanded ground activity," Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told an early Saturday news briefing. "The forces still remain in the field and are continuing the war‚" he said, signaling that Israel's sustained ground incursion had likely begun.

Hagari said fighter jets struck 150 underground targets in the northern Gaza Strip, including Hamas tunnels, underground combat spaces and other underground infrastructure, while killing others from the group.
