Israeli troops appear to finally be moving into action on the ground in Gaza with a round of hit and run harassment. The IDF conducted “targeted raids” inside Gaza for a second consecutive night before withdrawing. Airstrikes continue round the clock to soften things up and shake Hamas out of their tunnels.
Targeted raids in Gaza
Any Palestinians still hanging around the Gaza strip are about to be overrun by tanks and ground troops.
Video released Friday, October 27, shows “tanks and armored vehicles moving on a road near agricultural land as well as strikes on buildings and open areas.”
That particular raid “included aircraft and artillery strikes in the Shaja’iyah neighborhood.” The IDF was after Hamas infrastructure like “anti-tank missile launch sites, military command and control centers.”

If they could catch a few of the Hamas cockroaches scurrying around above ground in Gaza while they were at it, they scored bonus points. “The troops exited the area at the end of the activity.”
The prior day, IDF “carried out a raid with tanks in northern Gaza.” They aren’t saying a whole lot about it, other than the action is only “part of preparations for the next stages of combat.”
Israel has promised “to wipe out Hamas.” They aren’t ordinary Arabs, like the Saudi’s or Egyptians, they’re nothing but goat humping terrorists.
Communications knocked out
The latest reports coming in on Friday indicate that “Israel knocked out internet and communications in the Gaza Strip in stepped-up bombardment Friday night.”
Normally, there would be 2.3 million people there but they’ve had more than a week to evacuate. It’s not clear how many remain. Since any that haven’t run for their lives are probably terrorists, they don’t need internet service or other communications.
Gaza has been blocked from “contact with each other and the outside world.” It’s being described as “a near-blackout of information.” Good, the military observes.

It will be a total blackout soon and they’re “expanding” ground operations in the territory. That’s the clearest signal yet that Israel is “moving closer to an all-out invasion.”
AP is reporting that “explosions from continuous airstrikes lit up the sky over Gaza City for hours after nightfall.” Palestinian telecom provider, Paltel has some bad news for their subscribers.
The bombardment caused “complete disruption” of “internet, cellular and landline services.” Those with satellite phones can still get a call through. Though it better be a quick one, before a missile homes in on the signal.
