Israel-Hamas Conflict Live Updates: Israel Prepares Ground Invasion Into Gaza

Israel's military massed troops on the border with Gaza as airstrikes pummeled the Palestinian enclave in the wake of Saturday's attack by Hamas.

An estimated 500 to 600 U.S. citizens live in the Gaza Strip, and some are looking for safe passage out, including over the border into Egypt, a senior U.S. official said. “We’re talking intensively with the government of Egypt, the government of Israel how we might arrange that,” the official said.

“We have to carefully work with the two governments, and that’s part of what these discussions are about.” A spokesman for Egypt’s Foreign Ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment. Egypt has closed the Rafah border crossing, and an Egyptian official said the government is expecting a large number of Palestinians to attempt to cross the border soon, whether or not the crossing point is reopened.
