Israel has decided to expand its military operation in Gaza, aiming to gain control over more territory. The government says this move will weaken Hamas and improve national security.
Israel’s New Strategy
Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israeli forces will target Hamas strongholds and dismantle their infrastructure. He also urged Gaza’s residents to remove Hamas from power and help secure the release of Israeli hostages. According to him, these actions could shorten the war.
Mass Evacuations Continue
Meanwhile, thousands of Palestinians are fleeing their homes. Israeli forces have ordered residents of Rafah and Khan Yunis to move to Al-Mawasi, a designated safe zone.
However, this mass displacement has made the humanitarian crisis worse. Over 140,000 people have lost their homes in recent weeks. As a result, aid organizations are struggling to provide food, water, and shelter.
Global Reactions and U.S. Response
The international community is growing more concerned. In response to rising tensions, the United States has sent another aircraft carrier to the region. The U.S. hopes this move will prevent further escalation and protect its allies.
Death Toll Continues to Rise
The conflict has caused widespread destruction. Reports confirm that over 50,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis have lost their lives since the war began. Although Gaza’s Health Ministry has not released a breakdown, Israeli officials claim that about 20,000 Hamas fighters have died in combat.
What Comes Next?
As the fighting intensifies, both sides remain unwilling to back down. Without a ceasefire, experts fear that the death toll will climb and global tensions will rise. Meanwhile, civilians in Gaza continue to suffer as they search for safety, food, and medical aid.
