More than three weeks into the new war between Israel and Hamas, the Israeli military continues to launch airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

The conflict, however, is taking place on several fronts, as Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops have entered northern Gaza with tanks and bulldozers.<\/p>\n

An Israeli armoured unit advanced south from north-western Gaza, the Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen news outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The news outlet claimed the unit moved along the coast to Salah Khalaf Street and later attempted to move east towards al Nasr Street and al Toum Street.<\/p>\n

The esteemed US think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported the commander of the 162nd Division of the IDF stated the country’s forces had reached “the gates of Gaza City”, a statement that possibly corroborated Al Mayadeen’s claims.<\/p>\n
