"Israeli Forces Conduct Raids on Senior Hamas Members' Homes in North Gaza"

Israel conducted raids on the homes of senior Hamas officials in northern Gaza as part of the "next stage" of the ongoing conflict. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that the focus has shifted to the south of the Gaza Strip, and Israel launched strikes against both Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Meanwhile, Hamas reported losing contact with groups assigned to guard hostages it seized earlier this month. Additionally, 30 premature babies were evacuated from Gaza's main hospital, and there are indications of progress in negotiations between Israel and Hamas for the release of hostages.
