Confirmed FLIR footage released through official channels by the Israeli Defense Force shows ground troops and armor beginning a movement into Gaza to conduct combat operations against Hamas operatives. The armor is seen moving under the direct cover of artillery strikes in the region.

Currently, there is a ton of misinformation going around about this movement into Gaza. If you watch anything coming out of Telegram right now, you've probably noticed a lot of video labeled as combat footage that clearly comes from the Bohemia Interactive video game series called Arma. It's worth noting that at this time, a majority of the footage coming out of the region will be very one sided as the IDF has cut internet and cell phone services in the region while they conduct their ground operations.

We'll do our best to keep you guys updated with the situation in Israel as it continues to unfold. That said, be aware that the levels of misinformation coming out of the region are now on par with the initial invasion of Ukraine by Russia, but slightly greater due to the fact that footage from Syria and Iraq are also being cycled into the news feeds alongside the footage being put out by the IDF.
