Israel is amassing dozens of military vehicles on the border with the Gaza Strip as it is widely expected to soon launch its “Swords of Iron” ground operation.<\/p>\n

Merkava battle tanks, seen as some of the most powerful tanks ever built, flying the flag of Israel can be seen lined up near the border, not far from several armoured bulldozers.<\/p>\n

While the tanks’ name means “chariots” in Hebrew, the Caterpillar D9R bulldozers, have been nicknamed “Doobi”, which means “teddy bear”.<\/p>\n

These armoured vehicles are capable of smashing fences and fortifications and are designed to cross the maze of narrow streets and tunnel networks awaiting the Israeli army inside Gaza.<\/p>\n

If the expected ground operation does take place, these bulldozers will likely pave the way into Gaza for the rest of the army.<\/p>\n

Troops, including hundreds of thousands of reservists, are also poised for action.<\/p>\n

Among them is a young conscript who, until a fortnight ago, was working in an advertisement agency in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n

After the harrowing massacre carried out in Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7, an event which she said “changed everything”, she signed up to join her country’s fight.<\/p>\n

She told the Daily Mail: “This is our fight for survival. We are trained for this and we will win.”<\/p>\n
