15 October 2023 at 03:24 NEW: The weather may have postponed the ground invasion Bad weather conditions may have caused the planned ground operation in the Gaza Strip to be postponed, writes The New York Times. The American newspaper has a longer story with details about what kind of ground operation Israel is planning. The newspaper quotes three unnamed sources in Israel’s army who say that the invasion was originally planned for the weekend, but was postponed for at least a couple of days due to cloud cover. The clouds would have made it difficult for Israeli pilots and drone operators to support the ground operation from the air. (NTB)
