Israel escalates military campaign in Gaza and Lebanon after Hamas leader's death
Summary: Israel has intensified its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon following the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. This marks a shift from previous strategies, as Israel aims to secure long-term territorial gains and prevent future threats from Hamas and Hezbollah.
With U.S. elections approaching, Israeli leaders are focused on creating buffer zones and inflicting significant damage on their adversaries. They seek to reshape the regional landscape before a potential change in U.S. leadership in January.
Israel's military campaign has resulted in high casualties and the elimination of key militant leaders. The government is also pushing for a stronger enforcement of UN resolutions to disarm Hezbollah, despite facing international criticism and concerns over humanitarian impacts.
