Israel Says It's Sending Ground Troops Into Gaza
Fighting resumes after short truce
Israeli forces on Thursday launched a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, the military said.
The operation came after 10 days of intense fighting between Israel and the Islamic militant Hamas, in which Israel hit more than 2,000 targets in Gaza and Hamas launched nearly 1,500 rockets at Israel.
The army said the offensive is meant to strike a "significant blow to Hamas' terror infrastructure."
It did not say how many troops were involved or provide other details.
