The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced on March 20 that its troops advanced in the central part of the Gaza Strip and along the coast of the Palestinian enclave.
In the morning, the IDF warned Palestinians to avoid central Gaza as its troops advanced in the strategic Netzarim Corridor.
The military’s Arabic-language spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee said in a post to the X social network: “over the past day, IDF troops began a targeted operation” in central Gaza, and were “deployed up to the center of the Netzarim Corridor.”
“For your safety, do not travel on the Salah a-Din road between the north of the Gaza Strip and the south and vice versa,” he added.
Traveling from the north of the Strip to its south is only permitted via the coastal road, known as al-Rashid, Adraee warned in his post.
Later in the afternoon, the IDF announced in a statement that it had launched ground operations along the coast of the far north of Gaza, close to the area of Beit Lahiya.
Troops from the 252nd Division pushed into the coastal road area, and are currently deployed there, the military said, adding that two tank battalions of the 188th Armored Brigade are leading the operation.
Ahead of the offensive, the IDF said that it carried out airstrikes on some 40 targets in Beit Lahiya, including tunnels, anti-tank missile launch posts, Hamas operatives and other threats to troops.

Additional strikes hit dozens of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad targets in Gaza overnight, according to the IDF. Fighter jets and other Israeli Air Force aircraft hit operatives, buildings used by the groups, weapons and other infrastructure that posed a threat to Israel, the military and the Shin Bet security agency said in a joint statement.
The IDF faced no real resistance while advancing in central and northern Gaza. However, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, targeted Tel Aviv with a barrage of M90 rockets on March 20, in response to what it described in a brief statement as “Zionist massacres against civilians.”
Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and several of its suburbs in central Israel amid attack. Later, the IDF confirmed that three “long-range rockets” were fired from Gaza. One of the rockets was intercepted by air defenses, while the other two struck open areas, according to a statement by the military.
Israel renewed its military operations in Gaza early on March 18, citing Hamas’s “repeated refusal” to free Israeli hostages. According to the Hamas-run health ministry, the renewed attack on the Strip has so far claimed the lives of more than 400 Palestinians, including women and children.
As Israel escalates its operations in the coming days, Hamas will either have to put on some serious resistance or make major concessions.

i’m all for the axis of resistance, but i can’t help but wonder what in the world are they doing.🤔 why abide by the so-called ceasefire? smh 🤦
axis of resistance that killed all those innocent people? i used to think that whenever israel would cross that red line than iran will act. look at the whole situation if you are not blind. iran is a paper tiger en only helping the resiistance with weapons from the 1970’s. where are all the death jews? where is all the damaga caused by these so called hypersonic missiles? none to be found. remember history?
zionists have way more innocent blood on their hands, and no zionist “israeli” is innocent.
what innocent people? all izzies are colonisers. colonisers eat bullets. end of story.
nah but the americ*nts advised iran that if they threatened the jews existence in palestine, the americ*nts would drop a few nukes here and there in iran. not much you can do about such threat!
“as israel escalates its operations in the coming days, hamas will either have to put on some serious resistance or make major concessions”.
well i guess we all know what hamas is going to have to do then!
all that israel does is illegal . 6 million palestinians surviving through self defence is considered to be terrorist by all hasbara labels .
hamas will shortly put another shlomo hunt in operation. shlomos don’t like it up ’em.
yo momma liked it…
it is illegal to sockk a goats dyck in 1st world countries
we know you yemmennitus dycus sockkus make exemptions in this matter

now take syria. such a wahhabi state is not a pity. ht t p s:/ /t hecradle.co /artic les/in-syria-an-unh inged-m a ssa cre-of-ala wite-civ ilians
i am sure you’ll get along with them head choppers very well.
considering that lebanon and syria were destroyed due to hamas’s stupidity with kidnappings, i absolutely support trump’s plan to clean gaza.
clean gaza, do you mean “ethnically cleanse” gaza? and all for what i may add, so that a bunch of super expensive housing can be build. where only a select few of white, ultra-rich people can afford to live and vacation, yeah no thank-you. i think these rich guys already have enough places to go out on holiday at, and the world should not allow trump to genocide poor, oppressed people to make room for the rich!
don’t worry, these rich shlomos are guaranteed a very warm hamas welcome when they travel to their luxury kushner beachfront condos.
your momma liked it…
syria was destroyed by the zios pet cannibal headchoppers, hand in glove with the zio terror regime and its western accomplices.
ask your mommy how she liked it
the cradle is a propaganda rag

when i read articles like this, i absolutely support the return of karelia to finland. putin yabarq al-shara: moscow supports efforts to stabilize syria a spokesman for the russian presidency reveals that president vladimir putin sent a message to the syrian president of the transitional period, ahmed al-shara, in which he expressed his support for efforts to achieve stability in today, thursday, russian president vladimir putin announced a message to syrian president of the transitional
i absolutely support the return of occupied palestine to its rightful owners, the palestinians. like most people.
just like your goat supports your mommy during heavy sweaty stinkin goat syx
let dump fulfill his plan because both syria and lebanon are destroyed because of hamas. without the hostage-taking, syria would still be a country and lebanon would not have been destroyed. syria is a wahhabi no-man’s land and lebanon is completely destroyed. it is time to bibi fulfill dump’s plan and seize gaza.
in other terms, if these people would just go away, it would make israel life that much easier.
just as the nazis said during wwii.
tell me you’re a piece of garbage without telling me you’re a piece of garbage.
if the shlomos would just go away, it would make everybody’s life easier.

yes, syria is wahhabi no man’s land, but satanyaho can’t do shit to gaza.

submissive feminized amerikunts only march backward
after more than 100 years of war crimes by the jews in the illegally occupied palestine, it’s time for the goyim to put an end to the jews and their complete disregard of human values – they need to be put down like rabid dogs untill they are all gone. remember the jews mot prominent trait is unlimited greed which is the mother of all misery! there you are, the jews are the walking talking misery in need of a quick end!
it is soon necessary to see all jews as war criminals engaged in ethnic cleansin snd land-thievery and so on and thus a jew anywhere is fair game and aipacs hq and similar organisations around the world must be viewed as part of the jews war machine! and thus fair game!
hamas terrorist same as amerikunt losers
