The Israeli military has commenced the second phase of Operation Gideon's Chariots, focusing on intensifying attacks against Hamas in Gaza City. The Israeli Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, announced that this phase aims to deepen the damage to Hamas until its defeat, employing all military capabilities on land, air, and sea. The operation is described as a gradual, precise, and targeted offensive in Gaza City and its surroundings, with directives from the political leadership. This escalation marks a critical turning point in the conflict, with the Israeli army committed to changing the security reality and continuing the offensive until Hamas's presence is eliminated. Concurrently, there are reports of Palestinian factions, including Saraya al-Quds and al-Qassam Brigades, conducting ambushes against Israeli vehicles east of Shuja'iyya. Additionally, efforts are underway to begin the first phase of arms delivery from Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut, specifically from the Burj al-Barajneh camp, under the supervision of the Lebanese army.
