Israeli Forces Begin Limited Ground Incursion in Gaza Strip

Israel said it began a limited ground operation in Gaza on Wednesday, with troops returning to some positions outside population centers and officials vowing further pressure unless Hamas releases its 59 remaining hostages.
The ground incursion is the first since a six-week ceasefire between Israel and Hamas officially lapsed earlier this month and raises concerns about a return to all-out war. The move comes after Israel ended the pause in fighting early this week with airstrikes across Gaza that killed hundreds of people.
