Trucks carrying humanitarian assistance this morning began moving ashore via a temporary pier in Gaza, according to the US Centeal Command. “No U.S. troops went ashore in Gaza.

“We share the (Israeli) Defense Minister’s concern that Israel has not developed any plans for holding and governing territory the IDF clears, thereby allowing Hamas to regenerate in those areas.
