Israeli Tanks Carry Out Biggest Raid Inside Gaza Since Oct. 7 Attacks


TEL AVIV—The Israeli military carried out Thursday what appeared to be its biggest raid into the Gaza Strip since Hamas militants’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, in what experts said was an effort to prepare the ground for an eventual invasion of the enclave.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under growing pressure domestically to launch a large-scale ground assault against Hamas in Gaza. On Wednesday, U.S. officials and people familiar with the Israeli planning said Israel had agreed, for now, to a request from the U.S. to delay its ground invasion of Gaza so the Pentagon can place air defenses in the region to protect U.S. troops.
