The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched targeted "localized raids" on the ground in Gaza on Friday, sending in infantry and tanks to clear the area of potential Hamas terrorists and search for missing Israelis, The Times of Israel reported. This action is a possible lead-up to a "full-scale invasion" following the recent Hamas attack that claimed over 1,300 Israeli lives. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at a major escalation, stating that his country had "just begun to retaliate."
