Overview

  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened the security cabinet to consider a phased occupation of Gaza starting with evacuation notices for about 1 million Gaza City residents.
  • IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and other military leaders have pushed back on expanding the campaign, describing recent meetings as tense and warning of risks to hostages.
  • UN assistant secretary-general Miroslav Jenca said a full military occupation could have catastrophic humanitarian consequences and violate international law.
  • Troops from the IDF’s Kfir Brigade recently dismantled a 2-kilometer Hamas tunnel in Khan Yunis and have dismantled hundreds of other terror infrastructure sites.
  • Humanitarian operations remain constrained, with only 70 to 80 aid trucks entering Gaza daily against a UN-estimated need of 600 and over 61,000 Palestinians killed.
