Israel now controls over 50% of the Gaza Strip after expanding its military operations and buffer zones in its renewed offensive against Hamas. This expansion has come at the cost of razing large areas of land, displacing Palestinians into increasingly smaller and more crowded areas. Israeli officials claim the move is a temporary measure aimed at pressuring Hamas to release hostages taken during the October 7, 2023, attack. The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate as the conflict intensifies. Military leaders suggest the war could last a year, emphasizing the need for a political resolution to achieve long-term goals.
