Overview

• Israel has resumed minimal humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza after an eleven-week blockade, allowing nine trucks carrying food and medical supplies to enter on Monday.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reaffirmed Israel's goal to take full control of Gaza, dismantle Hamas, and establish a new aid distribution system bypassing Hamas' control.
• The Israeli military has launched an extensive ground operation, 'Operation Gideon's Chariots,' targeting Hamas infrastructure, with warnings of an 'unprecedented attack' on Khan Younis.
• International pressure from allies, including the U.S., France, and Canada, has influenced Israel's decision to ease the blockade, as concerns over famine and humanitarian violations grow.
• An Israeli undercover raid in Khan Younis resulted in the killing of Ahmed Sarhan, a Popular Resistance Committees commander, as airstrikes continue to devastate Gaza, where over 53,000 have died since the conflict began.
