Israel continues its heavy air attack on Gaza, but the ground offensive has not yet begun.
The explosion caused by the Israeli airstrikes was clearly heard and columns of smoke rose from the Gaza side today during the day as well.
At the same time, Israel appeared to be continuing to prepare a ground attack near the Be’er kibbutz, about five kilometers from the Gaza border.
Several bulldozers were also transported to the border, which may be used to clear the destroyed buildings in Gaza if Israel launches a ground offensive.
Right next to the checkpoint on the road leading to Be’er, there was a row of tanks, which the soldiers forbade ‘s film crew to photograph.
Only military vehicles and cars related to support activities were allowed to pass through the checkpoint on Tuesday.
A few civilian cars belonged to those living in the area who have not moved to other parts of Israel.
At the moment, traffic near the Gaza border is quite light.
The Kibbutz of Be’er was one of the hardest hit targets when Hamas attacked Israel a week and a half ago.
Since then, Israel has continued its heavy air attack on Gaza.
