Israel plans to relocate Palestinians from Gaza's combat zones to the south ahead of a major military offensive targeting densely populated areas. The military says it will resume supplying tents to Gaza. Meanwhile, families of Israeli hostages held in Gaza are calling for a nationwide stoppage in Israel to pressure for their release, expressing concern that the upcoming offensive endangers their loved ones. A recent Israeli airstrike killed a baby and her parents in Gaza, while malnutrition continues to claim lives, with 251 deaths reported. The UN warns of severe starvation and challenges in aid distribution due to Israeli restrictions.
