What is Israel's new major ground offensive, Operation Gideon's Chariots?
Briefly

Israel has initiated a significant ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, escalating tensions following over two months of blockade and recent air raids that resulted in many Palestinian casualties. This operation, named Operation Gideon's Chariots, coincided with indirect ceasefire talks in Doha between Israel and Hamas. Israel claims the offensive aims to undermine Hamas's operational capabilities and recover hostages. The timing of the strike appears strategically aligned with the conclusion of US President Trump's regional tour, amidst increasing pressure on Israel to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched this latest assault as US President Donald Trump concluded his Middle East tour, indicating a strategic timing intertwined with international diplomacy.
Israel's military has intensified its ground offensive in Gaza aiming to exert pressure on Hamas, particularly during ongoing indirect ceasefire discussions in Doha.
