2/ Katz declared: “We are expanding to crush and cleanse the area of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure and seize large areas that will be added to the security zones of the State of Israel.”
3/ He said the expansion includes “extensive evacuation of Gaza’s residents from fighting areas” and called on them to “eliminate Hamas and return all the kidnapped.” While he did not specify which areas would be seized, he claimed this was “the only way to end the war.”
4/ The escalation comes amid intensified Israeli airstrikes and ground operations, particularly in Rafah and Khan Younis, as Israeli forces push deeper into Gaza.
5/ Gaza’s Ministry of Interior reports that several Palestinians were also killed and wounded after an Israeli airstrike targeted police officers and personnel in Deir al-Balah.
6/ As Drop Site reported earlier, an Israeli attack on an UNRWA medical facility sheltering displaced people in Jabalia killed at least 22 people, including 16 women, children, and elderly, according to local authorities.
