Israel has escalated its military operations in Gaza, seizing more land and creating new security zones. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a new corridor to divide southern Gaza, aiming to pressure Hamas to release Israeli hostages. Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed that captured areas will be added to existing security zones. Airstrikes in Khan Younis and Rafah killed at least 21 people, including children. Gaza’s health ministry reports nearly 1,000 deaths since Israel resumed attacks. Ceasefire talks remain stalled as Hamas rejects disarmament. Protests in Israel are growing, with hostage families demanding an end to the war. (PC: AP)
