"IDF Prepares for Extended 2024 Conflict as Hamas Rockets Persist Amidst Political Turmoil"
The Israel-Gaza conflict is expected to continue throughout 2024, as indicated by IDF spokesperson Rear Adm Daniel Hagari. On New Year's Eve, Hamas launched a barrage of rockets into Israel, while Israeli strikes in Gaza resulted in casualties. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have made statements suggesting a prolonged military presence and potential changes in Gaza's governance post-conflict. The situation has prompted international concern and criticism, including from US politicians and the WHO assessing medical needs in Gaza.
