Israeli Military Widens Gaza Offensive

Israel has expanded its military operation across Gaza, intensifying attacks and issuing evacuation orders in southern Gaza. The United Nations Security Council failed to pass a proposed resolution for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire. The majority of Gaza's residents have already been forced from their homes, with nowhere safe to go. The World Health Organization's executive board will meet to discuss the health situation in Gaza. The U.S. vetoed the resolution, causing diplomatic isolation. Families and supporters of Israeli hostages held by Hamas rallied in Tel Aviv, calling for their release. Israel claimed to have discovered a new tunnel, weapons, and Hamas facilities under Gaza, reinforcing its justification for intensified attacks. The U.S. has approved a possible sale of tank cartridges and related equipment to Israel.
