Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz announces a significant expansion of military operations in the Gaza Strip, signaling a new phase in the ongoing conflict with Hamas. In a televised statement, Katz confirms that Israeli forces will move to seize large portions of land in Gaza, which he says will be “incorporated into Israel’s security zones” as part of a wider strategy to “crush and clear” terrorist threats.
The announcement comes as Israel continues its months-long campaign against Hamas, launched in response to the group’s October 7, 2023, cross-border assault that left over 1,200 Israelis. . .
