Israel has intensified its military operations in Gaza, controlling 50% of the territory and razing land to create a larger buffer zone. Reports indicate that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have systematically destroyed homes and agricultural fields along the Gaza border. Prime Minister Netanyahu announced plans to establish a new security corridor across Gaza, aiming to pressure Hamas. The operation has led to hundreds of casualties among Palestinians, with civilians fleeing major cities like Rafah as evacuation orders are issued. In the latest developments, the IDF claims it has conducted over 200 airstrikes across Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, as the military continues to expand its ground presence in both northern and southern regions of Gaza.
