Digital Desk: A former Israeli prime minister joined soldiers on the front lines during the country's escalating conflict with Hamas, which has resulted in at least 1,200 deaths on both sides.
As he arrived for the reserve duty, Naftali Bennett was spotted shaking hands with Israeli soldiers.
In response to a Saturday surprise strike by the Palestinian organization, Israel launched a significant counteroperation against Hamas.
After pledging to defeat the Palestinian group, Israel battled Hamas, which is still hiding out in southern cities, and massed tens of thousands of troops near the Gaza Strip.
Civilians in Gaza have been urged by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to leave all Hamas sites, which he claimed would be reduced "to rubble".
Hamas launched a major rocket bombardment and launched a ground, air, and sea offensive in the worst escalation of the conflict in decades.
The Hamas militant organization termed their assault "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" and urged "resistance fighters in the West Bank" as well as in "Arab and Islamic nations" to join the battle. Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, claimed that the organization was "on the verge of a great victory."
To counter what US President Jo Biden called an "unprecedented terrorist assault" by Hamas, Israel's allies have responded by pledging fresh support.
The USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier and several warships were sent to the eastern Mediterranean by Washington, and US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced that additional supplies and resources would soon arrive.
