Israel’s war with Palestinian militant group Hamas “entered a new phase” with the intense overnight bombing of the Gaza Strip, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said on Saturday. “We have entered a new phase in the war. Last night the ground in Gaza shook. We attacked above ground and below ground,” Gallant said in a video statement, alluding to the newtork of military tunnels Hamas has built under Gaza. “The instructions to the forces are clear: the action will continue until further notice.”
