Israeli forces have recaptured a critical corridor in Gaza, effectively dividing the territory and escalating the ongoing conflict with Hamas. The ceasefire, established earlier this year, has collapsed following intense airstrikes that resulted in over 400 Palestinian casualties, primarily women and children, marking the deadliest day in 17 months. Israel’s Defense Minister has warned of intensified attacks unless Hamas releases hostages and relinquishes control of Gaza. The renewed hostilities raise concerns about regional stability and the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
