In the latest developments in the Israel-Hamas conflict, President Biden has had his 17th phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the war rages on. With the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) preparing to expand their operations into new locations, there is growing concern over the dire situation in southern Gaza. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council has adopted a resolution advocating for urgent measures to ensure safe and unimpeded humanitarian access throughout Gaza.
As the IDF intensifies its efforts, specifically focusing on southern Gaza, reports suggest that the northern section of the enclave is on the brink of being brought under control. However, despite bombing an extensive tunnel complex under Palestine Park in Gaza City, suspected to be a hub for Hamas operations and even housing senior leadership, the IDF has yet to capture the top Hamas figures.
