Israel has launched a major military offensive, "Operation Gideon's Chariots," aiming to defeat Hamas and rescue hostages in Gaza. The IDF claims to have struck over 150 targets, while Palestinian sources report around 250 deaths. The operation involves seizing strategic areas of Gaza and relocating civilians, defying international calls for a ceasefire and despite a prior aid blockade imposed on Gaza. The offensive began after US President Trump's Middle East visit concluded, following earlier announcements of an impending Israeli ground incursion.
