The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday that it plans to intensify airstrikes on Gaza, governed by the Hamas terror group, ahead of a potential ground invasion, AFP reported. This comes just hours after Egypt opened the "humanitarian aid corridor" via the Rafah border to allow aid trucks into Gaza. The United Nations (UN) also cautioned about a disastrous humanitarian crisis in the blockaded region, with the Hamas authorities reporting over 4,300 Palestinian deaths, primarily civilians.
