Israel Sets Deadline for Hamas Strongholds Takeover Amid Humanitarian Crisis

The Israeli military has issued a new timeline for taking control of remaining Hamas strongholds in the Gaza Strip, estimating it will take about a month and a half. They expect to seize the northern Gaza city of Jabalia within a day and continue occupying the Shuja'iyya neighborhood for a few more days. Israel plans to take control of all fighting areas, including Khan Yunis, by the end of January. The United States and Israel are coordinating on military strategies, while the UN's resolution for a ceasefire was vetoed by the US. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with an estimated 61% of those killed in Gaza being civilians.
