On Wednesday, Israeli forces escalated their military actions in Gaza by advancing into key territories, specifically the Netzarim corridor, which segregates the northern and southern parts of the enclave. This action was taken after a significant aerial bombardment ended a fragile cease-fire that had been in place since mid-January. Both Israel and Hamas declined to meet demands for extending the truce or progressing on key issues such as hostages. Israeli military statements indicated a shift in strategy focusing on creating a buffer zone and increasing ground troop deployments.
Israeli forces advanced deeper into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday seizing parts of a major corridor separating the enclave's northern half from the south, ramping up pressure on Hamas after the cease-fire's collapse.
The operation followed a wide-scale Israeli aerial bombardment in Gaza the previous day that effectively ended the fragile truce that had held between Israel and Hamas since mid-January.
