Escalation in Gaza: Israel widens control as ceasefire stalls

Israel has intensified its attacks on Gaza, with at least four Palestinians killed in the last 24 hours and more than 25 killed in the past week, pushing fatalities since the ceasefire to over 800. Analysts say the strikes on police, expansion of the eastern 'yellow line' to about 60% of Gaza, and the sidelining of the US-backed NCAG reflect a strategy to sustain a wartime state and thwart political life, while aid remains far below agreements and the new governance framework falters.
