What to Know About Israel's Expanded Offensive in Gaza
Briefly

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel has gained a new territory in the Gaza Strip, marking a strategic escalation in military operations after the collapse of a cease-fire with Hamas. This week, Israel resumed airstrikes aiming to pressure Hamas into releasing more Israeli hostages. While discussions for restoring the truce have been ongoing, they have produced no results. The United Nations reported significant displacement over 140,000 people in Gaza, due to heavy military actions, including extensive ground raids and evacuation orders issued by Israel.
"Israel has captured a new strip of territory in the Gaza Strip, as Netanyahu signals a shift in strategy following the collapse of the cease-fire with Hamas."
"Both sides have been speaking to mediators about a potential deal to restore the truce but so far without success, indicating the ongoing tensions in the region."
