Israel said Saturday that troops were still in the field and “continuing the war,” as Hamas pledged to confront any attacks with “full force,” Reuters reported.
Israel, which sent its troops in on Friday, did not elaborate further, but had perviously only made brief attacks into Gaza.
Israel is hitting targets in Gaza city and the northern part of the strip with a heavy round of fresh airstrikes, Fox reports.
Explosions could be heard in Israeli towns along the southern border from miles away, according to Axios reporter Barak Ravid.
Footage shows massive fireballs and smoke plumes bursting from Gaza in the aftermath of the strikes.
