It appears the IDF is directing heavy fire at terrorist forces, occupying them with the ground forces operation, resulting in a cessation of rocket fire for now. Reports of locations and other details are intentionally vague as per the instructions of the military censor as news is reported in real-time.

Arabic LBC reports tanks traveling from Nachal Oz towards Netzarim. He states that if the tanks make it to Netzarim, they will effectively cut off Gaza City from the remaining portions of Gaza. LBS quoting Hamas also reports the terrorists are waiting for soldiers to reach urban areas, where they prefer to engage them.

There are also reports of dozens of dead terrorists.
