Israel’s military announces the start of ‘extensive’ new ground operations in Gaza

  • On Sunday, May 18, 2025, the Israel Defense Forces announced the launch of a major ground offensive targeting areas in both the northern and southern regions of Gaza.
  • The operation follows a retaliatory offensive after Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 and abducting 251 people, sparking ongoing conflict.
  • Since the offensive began, Israel intensified airstrikes, shuttered Gaza's last northern hospital, and displaced nearly all of Gaza’s 2.1 million residents amid severe humanitarian collapse.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry reports over 53,000 Palestinians killed, including many women and children, with 464 deaths last week and 130 more overnight, while hospitals face fuel and damage crises.
  • The offensive aims to defeat Hamas and secure hostage releases, leading to renewed indirect ceasefire talks in Doha, but the outcome remains uncertain as both sides maintain firm positions.
