The extraneous ‘terror attack’ by the Hamas militant group at Israel last weekend, prompting the Israeli ground forces to possibly irrupt into the Gaza Strip – one of the densely populated places in the world. The conflict between Israel and Gazan militant group, which is declared as a war, has claimed at least 2,700 lives from both sides, including those of civilians.
Awaiting Israeli lawmakers’ nod, the country’s Army proclaimed its readiness to take out the ground assault to take on Hamas fighters.
“We are waiting to see what our political leadership decides about a potential ground incursion,” Israeli Army’s spokesperson was quoted as saying by news agency AFP.
However, the potential attack with Israel defence forces’ mechanised infantry and air support posits a set of tactical challenges including the possible threat to lives in the area having around 5,500 persons per square kilometre as opposed to 400 persons in Israel.
