FLASH 5:32 PM EDT -- Israeli journalist from channel 13 says Israeli offensive into the Gaza Strip is underway.
UPDATE 5:40 PM EDT --
Earlier today, news reports surfaced that Israel allegedly told US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin "U.S. requests to delay the invasion for more negotiations, grow tiresome."
Then, this afternoon, word came out claiming "Israel has agreed to delay its invasion until more U.S. forces are in-place."
Now, we're getting this claim from an Israeli Journalist from their TV channel 13, saying the invasion is underway. It's a little tough to keep track of. I am endeavoring to corroborate the claim, so be mindful this TV guy may be wrong.
One solid development: a Senior Israeli politician, Deri, said today "We told Biden that we are done with Gaza. We will never allow anyone from Gaza to work in Israel ever again. There will no longer be border crossings between Israel & Gaza."
CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR MORE UPDATES . . .
UPDATE 8:09 PM EDT --
Non-stop small arms fire can be heard throughout the Gaza Strip. Heavy artillery shelling of multiple areas taking place all over Gaza. NO AIR STRIKES for about an hour so far.
It is now __thought__ that perhaps a hostage rescue operation (or several) may be taking place. This, however is just speculation.
It is also thought that this may simply be an initial "probe" by Israeli ground forces.
Information right now is VERY scarce.
