IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi has approved plans for the continuation of Israel’s ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, the military says.

The plans were approved last night following an assessment Halevi held at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba with top military officials.

The IDF is currently operating on the ground in northern Gaza, but is expected to also operate in the Strip’s south in the future stages of the war.
