The Israeli Cabinet has approved doubling the fuel supply to Gaza amid pressure from the Biden administration to prevent a humanitarian crisis. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant suggested an initial supply of 120,000 liters, which would increase if Hamas allowed the Red Cross to visit refugees. In an effort to deceive Israel, Hamas reportedly provided intelligence on the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group. The United Nations Secretary-General has warned the Security Council of a global threat from the Gaza war, while Israeli forces continue to engage in intense combat, locate weapons, and destroy military infrastructure in Gaza. Turkish President Erdogan opposes the establishment of a "buffer zone" for Gaza and threatened Israel over Hamas members in Turkey. The IDF has located a large stockpile of weapons in Gaza and announced the deaths of two more soldiers, bringing the total to 14 since the ground operation began. Israeli security forces arrested wanted individuals and confiscated weapons in Jenin and Halhul. The US House of Representatives approved a resolution stating that anti-Zionism is antisemitism. The IDF expressed regret over an incident in which Lebanese army soldiers were injured, stating they were not the target. Israeli officials estimate that at least 5,000 Hamas terrorists have been killed in the conflict. Prime Minister Netanyahu referred to evidence of sexual violence and rape cases committed by Hamas terrorists. The Israeli government continues to work towards the release of hostages, the elimination of Hamas, and ensuring Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel.
