More military armour has amassed north of Gaza than international affairs editor Dominic Waghorn has ever seen in one place, he said.
“Other armour may be hidden and secreted in the woods and fields around Gaza,” he added.
Israeli troops are also being “bussed in on coaches” to towns in huge numbers.
“There is no real sign yet of any kind of imminent ground offensive despite what the government is saying, but I think we can assume that something is being planned and it is likely to be going ahead in the coming days,” said Waghorn.
“We’ve seed D9 bulldozers that will be forcing their way into Gaza, they will be followed by tanks.
“It will be very difficult fighting in densely populated urban neighbourhoods.”
