On October 30, 2023, Israel expanded its ground operations in Gaza. This move comes as a response to the ongoing conflict with Hamas, a Palestinian militant group. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been conducting airstrikes in the region, which have now been supplemented by ground operations. The IDF has stated that the objective of these operations is to target Hamas' infrastructure and leadership.

The ground operations have led to a significant escalation in the conflict, with reports of increased casualties on both sides. The United Nations has expressed concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire. However, the Israeli government has stated that the operations will continue until they achieve their objectives.

Meanwhile, information has emerged about a 36-hour blackout in Gaza, which has raised concerns about the impact of the conflict on civilians. The blackout was reportedly caused by damage to Gaza's only power plant, which was hit during the Israeli airstrikes. The power outage has affected essential services, including hospitals and water supply systems, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.

The international community has been closely monitoring the situation, with several countries calling for a de-escalation of the conflict. The United Nations has also called for an investigation into potential violations of international humanitarian law.
