Israel-Hamas War LIVE Updates: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a televised statement that Israel was "preparing for a ground invasion. I will not elaborate on when, how or how many."
Israel bombarded Hamas targets as it prepared for a ground invasion, with Russia warning the conflict could spread beyond the Middle East, and as world powers failed to secure plans to deliver critical humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned the conflict could spread beyond the Middle East and said it was wrong that innocent women, children and old people in Gaza were being punished for other people's crimes.
Israel has vowed to wipe out Hamas, which rules Gaza.
"We will keep striking in Gaza in order to achieve the goals of the war," Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said. "Every strike strengthens us and improves our situation ahead of the next stages in the war."
