Updates: Israel Begins ‘Preparations’ for New Gaza Offensive as 115 Killed

On May 17, 2025, Israel launched Operation Gideon's Chariots, intensifying airstrikes and ground deployments in the Gaza Strip.
This escalation followed the resumption of Israeli military operations on March 18, after a two-month truce ended the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack.
Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of over 115 Palestinians, among them women and children, with key targets including hospitals and residential neighborhoods in Jabalia and Khan Younis.
The Israeli military reported striking over 150 terror targets in 24 hours to achieve objectives including Hamas defeat and hostage release, with Gaza deaths now over 53,000.
The escalation shows Israel's continued commitment to dismantling Hamas despite ongoing indirect ceasefire talks mediated by the US, Qatar, and Egypt in Doha.
