US EditionIsraeli military issues thousands of call-up notices, local media report
- On Friday, Prime Minister Netanyahu's security cabinet approved a plan to intensify the ground offensive in Gaza and begin mobilizing a large number of reserve troops for the operation.
- The decision follows more than 18 months of conflict with Hamas, heightened by pressure to break the stalemate and ongoing military occupation of about a third of Gaza.
- The intensified campaign occurs amid stalled ceasefire talks, with Hamas still controlling Gaza, holding 59 hostages captured in the deadly October 7, 2023 attack.
- At a recent Independence Day event, Defense Minister Zamir declared that they are prepared to fully mobilize their resources and accelerate the current campaign, indicating a potential escalation in the near future.
- The expansion may deepen humanitarian risks as aid remains blocked, while Israeli officials aim to recover hostages and weaken Hamas without full-scale maneuvers to maintain hostage negotiations.
