More than a million people in Gaza have been displaced as Israel prepares for a ground assault following an unprecedented assault launched by the Palestinian Hamas group. Israeli forces are now waiting for a political green light to launch a ground invasion.
Israel was overrun by Hamas last weekend when the group attacked its citizens. Israel also launched airstrikes on Hamas-controlled Gaza in response, stripping and cutting off food and electricity supplies to the region.
