Israel Mobilizes for New Gaza Offensive Amidst Hamas Uncertainty
Following intense airstrikes that killed over 140 Palestinians on Friday, the Israeli military announced a mobilization of forces for a further ground offensive in Gaza. While some ground troops have reportedly begun advancing, a large-scale invasion has yet to materialize. Simultaneously, indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas continue in Qatar, mediated efforts to avert further escalation. The extent and timing of the planned ground operation remain unclear.
