Satellite Images Confirm Imminent Israeli Ground Invasion of Gaza Amid US Tensions

New commercial satellite imagery reveals a significant buildup of Israeli troops and equipment near the Gaza border, signaling a potential new ground invasion of the Palestinian enclave. Multiple U.S. and former officials who viewed the imagery confirm troop movements consistent with an imminent major military operation.

Israel’s security Cabinet has reportedly approved a plan to seize control of Gaza City, a move reported by the Associated Press, citing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. This plan, while falling short of a full occupation, aims to dismantle Hamas, ensure Israeli security, and transition Gaza to civilian governance free from extremist influence.

The anticipated offensive comes amidst heightened diplomatic tensions between the United States and Israel. A recent private phone conversation on July 28 between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly devolved into a heated exchange over the efficacy of the U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Sources indicate Trump expressed strong concerns over the humanitarian situation, contradicting Netanyahu’s assertions that widespread starvation in Gaza was fabricated by Hamas. This led to a visit to the region by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to find a unified path forward on aid distribution and the ongoing conflict.

The humanitarian crisis remains severe, with concerns over aid distribution methods through GHF, which has faced a boycott from the U.N. More than 1,000 Palestinians have reportedly died seeking food. While Witkoff has briefed President Trump on his discussions, a new Gaza ceasefire remains elusive, with Israel believing a military offensive is the most viable option to secure the release of remaining hostages.

Internationally, Israel faces increasing pressure, with nations like the UK, France, and Canada considering recognizing a Palestinian state at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September. Despite the diplomatic challenges and the inherent dangers of an offensive against a deeply entrenched Hamas, Israeli forces are believed to know the general area of the hostages, with growing urgency regarding their condition.
