Israel has escalated its military campaign in Gaza, warning residents of an impending ground offensive through leaflets stating, “People of Gaza, the Israeli army is coming.” This announcement follows the expansion of “Operation Gideon’s Chariots,” with reports indicating that the operation aims for complete occupation of Gaza. Since the conflict reignited in October 2023, over 53,200 Palestinians have died, exacerbated by Israel’s blockade of essential supplies and a significant increase in fatalities during a recent visit by US President Donald Trump.
