"Israel's Military Campaign Targets Hamas Operations in Northern Gaza"

Israel has announced the end of its major combat operations in northern Gaza, claiming to have dismantled Hamas's military framework there after killing approximately 8,000 fighters. Despite this, the Israeli military plans to continue its campaign in central and southern Gaza. The ongoing conflict has resulted in nearly 23,000 deaths and over 58,000 injuries in Gaza, with international pressure mounting for Israel to reduce civilian casualties and increase humanitarian aid. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and EU diplomat Josep Borrell are in the Middle East to prevent the conflict from escalating further, as regional tensions increase.
