Israel is set to expand its control zone in Gaza following a breach of the ceasefire agreement by Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to extend their operational area in response to Hamas"s failure to return the bodies of 13 deceased hostages, which Netanyahu described as a "clear violation" of the ceasefire established on October 10.
This decision comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, as Israel seeks to reinforce its position following the ceasefire breach. The IDF"s expanded control zone is expected to facilitate military operations aimed at addressing security concerns stemming from Hamas"s actions.
