US EditionIsraeli Military Says It Has Launched Major New Offensive in Gaza, Same Day Trump Leaves Region with No Deal
- The Israel Defense Forces launched Operation Gideon's Chariots, a major new offensive in Gaza, on the same day US President Donald Trump ended his Middle East visit without a ceasefire deal.
- This offensive follows a fresh escalation after a two-month truce, sparked by a Hamas attack in October 2023 that killed about 1,200 Israelis and involved 251 hostages.
- The military escalated its offensive by carrying out numerous attacks and sending troops to capture key positions, with the objective of fulfilling war aims such as securing hostage releases and defeating Hamas amid the ongoing siege of Gaza.
- Gaza's civil defense reported over 100 deaths in recent strikes, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to displace Gaza's population southward and continue bombings to eradicate Hamas.
- The offensive deepens humanitarian concerns as Gaza faces a near three-month blockade, with UN warnings of widespread famine and over 436,000 people forcibly displaced since March.
