Hamas pushes back against Israel's ground invasion | Looking at Gaza, as seen by the rest of the Arab World. Here is the Middle East this week: What is Israel's ground invasion endgame?There have been some stumbles since Israel's land incursion into the Gaza Strip began nearly two weeks ago.
It is still too early to say how the war on Gaza will end but experts say Hamas's fighting abilities have improved, which means fighting on the ground will be much more vicious.
Israel has said it will soon split the Gaza Strip in two and surround Gaza City, but to achieve that it will have to engage in urban warfare that is expected to be bloodier than it has been so far.
Especially if the battle goes underground, into Hamas's feared tunnels.
Israel imposed a complete siege on the enclave a month ago. In that time, what little food, water, fuel and medicine Gaza had stored has been all but used up. Our graphics team visualised what it means to be without enough food and water for a month.
Municipal freshwater for bathing, washing clothes and running household plumbing has also dried up, which means people have to bathe their children in the highly polluted sea off of Gaza, resulting in sores and other ailments. Watch: Does Israel pose a nuclear threat to the world?
