Has the weather delayed the Gaza invasion? [View all]

"The severe weather in the region has forced Israeli officials to postpone the ground invasion of the Gaza Strip to next week. This delay highlights the challenges faced by aircraft pilots and drone operators in conducting air operations in support of Israeli ground troops. While it may provide a temporary respite for the people of Gaza, the delay does not signify an end to the conflict. The international community continues to call for a peaceful resolution and an immediate ceasefire."
