Gen. Efi Dufferin said the operation aims to protect civilians by clearing Hamas from targeted zones. The move has sparked international concern. UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres warned it could cause further civilian deaths, while the UK expressed opposition to expanding military operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 70% of Gaza is under Israeli control or evacuation orders. More than 52,500 Palestinians have been killed since the war began in October, according to Gaza\u2019s health ministry. Israel also carried out new airstrikes in Yemen, targeting Houthi positions after a missile strike on Israel\u2019s main airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humanitarian agencies, including the UN, criticized Israeli plans to restrict aid delivery, accusing them of violating humanitarian principles. Domestically, protests have erupted, with families of hostages warning the offensive endangers captives\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel has launched a new phase of its military campaign in Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announcing an \u201cintensified\u201d offensive involving the permanent presence of Israeli troops in seized areas and the displacement of civilians.
