According to IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari, the Israeli army "continued its offensive activities" and undertook an "expansion of the scale of the ground operation." Israel's ambassador to France, Rafael Morav, later said that the ground operation would take place, but it would be limited. He linked her to the Al-Shifa Hospital, under which, according to Israel, there is a Hamas control and communications center.
