Netanyahu Orders Gaza Expansion

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the Israeli military to seize control of 70% of the Gaza Strip, significantly expanding its footprint.

The move, which contradicts previous ceasefire terms, comes as Israel intensifies strikes in southern Lebanon and the port city of Tyre.

Israeli forces have reportedly advanced north of the Litani River, escalating attacks against Hezbollah militants following evacuation warnings to Lebanese civilians.

Hamas has condemned the expansion as a dangerous escalation, while international concerns grow over the humanitarian impact of the widened offensive.
