"Israeli Forces Close in on Hamas Leader Sinwar as Battle Rages in Gaza"

Israeli forces have surrounded the house of top Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating that it's only a matter of time before they capture him. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed that Sinwar is hiding underground. Meanwhile, Israeli forces and Hamas are engaged in house-to-house battles across the Gaza Strip, with the IDF operating in the heart of Khan Younis. The UN has warned of a humanitarian collapse in Gaza, and the health ministry reports that over 1,200 Palestinians have been killed, with 70% of the dead being women and children. The UN secretary general has invoked a rarely used clause to warn of threats to international peace and security, while Israel's ambassador to the UN has accused him of reaching a new moral low.
