According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), it was “increasing the pressure” in an effort to defeat Hamas militants and return hostages held in Gaza.
Critics dispute Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intentions in the conflict and claim that the last military onslaught, which followed the breakdown of a truce, has not succeeded in ensuring the release of detainees.
The military stated that it would “destroy all infrastructure” both above and below ground and conduct operations in new regions as part of the strategy.
According to Israeli media, the increased military buildup in Gaza has been approved by the Israeli security cabinet.
However, rumors indicate that it won’t take place until after President Donald Trump’s visit to the area the following week.
A fresh ceasefire agreement and the release of the remaining 59 have not been reached through international discussions.
