Formations of troops and armored vehicles approached the city and neighboring population centers from the north, east and south, as shown by eyewitness photos and videos verified by The New York Times, as well as satellite imagery. At a news conference, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forcefully rejected calls for a cease-fire as “calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender to terrorism.” It took hours for outside observers to understand that Israel was [beginning a ground invasion on Friday](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnIqyeP0TsaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMC8zMC93b3JsZC9taWRkbGVlYXN0L2lzcmFlbC1nYXphLWludmFzaW9uLXNlY3JlY3kuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMTAzMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDY0OTMmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0ODcyMyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZTyeJ0BlXVS7_lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), and it has been more incremental than anticipated.

Administration officials said the shift in tone and substance was the result of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Hostages: Israel said that it had rescued a soldier, Ori Megidish, who was abducted on Oct. 7 by Hamas militants. Hamas’s armed wing released a video claiming to show three women who were being held hostage. Blackout: For 34 hours this weekend, phone and internet connections in Gaza were severed.
