IDF Claims Hamas Lost Control in Northern Gaza

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claim that Hamas has lost control in northern Gaza as 50,000 Gazans have moved to the south. The IDF's ground incursion into Gaza has been tactically successful so far, surprising observers with limited troop casualties. The IDF is targeting Hamas's network of underground tunnels and has destroyed 130 tunnel shafts. However, the mounting casualty toll and displacement of civilians remain concerning, leading to calls for a ceasefire. Both sides have been accused of committing war crimes, and there is increasing pressure on Israel to stand down. The global outcry about civilian casualties in Gaza is part of Hamas's strategy to change the status quo and gain international support. The fighting is expected to continue for weeks to months.
