This comes after the Israeli occupation army said it expanded the scope of its ground operations to move into Gaza starting Friday, as per Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari.

His statement coincided with the Israeli occupation entity completely cutting off internet and telecom services access across the Strip, technically isolating and blocking Gaza from the rest of the world while committing its genocide.

The Israeli escalation came as talks for a ceasefire agreement were reportedly progressing, sources disclosed to Al Mayadeen. The agreement potentially included the release of all children and women held by the occupation, while the Resistance would release foreign non-military captives it held since October 7.

Hamas confirmed that the Palestinian Resistance foiled the Israeli ground offensive launched on Friday evening after Hagari's announcment on three fronts.

Al-Qassam revealed that the Palestinian Resistance lured intruding forces into several ambushes, leading to casualties among Israeli occupation forces.

The Palestinian Health Ministry announced on Saturday that the number of martyrs in Gaza due to the Israeli aggression has risen to 7,703 so far, including 3,595 children. In a statement, the Ministry added that the Israeli occupation committed 53 massacres just yesterday and 825 against families in total since October 7.
