The Israeli military plans to launch a renewed offensive in Gaza in March to seize more land and push the Yellow Line further west towards the coast of the enclave, Times of Israel reported, quoting officials.

Even as the ceasefire moves closer to the second phase, the Israeli military has drawn up plans for the offensive, citing failure in getting Hamas to disarm, the report quoted an Arab diplomat as saying.

On 10 October 2025, the US brokered a ceasefire under which Israeli forces pulled back to the Yellow Line, allowing them control of more than half of Gaza, roughly 53 per cent of the Strip.

The operation reportedly planned for March is focused on Gaza City and could see Israel build on the area under its control, the report said.

    Makes sense. US build up of troops in the middle east in preparation for war with Iran. Or not war, but “special operations” or whatever BS term they use these days.

    That’ll eat up most headlines, so other atrocities can likely sneak by with less opposition.

      Do those atrocities and headlines affect anything? Is there any reason to “sneak”? I think you’re overthinking the situation.

        Past tyrants also appeared to be, until their bloody ends, invincible.

            Possibly, i am not an historian.
            But i hate that pessimism or even being a realist could be an excuse to do nothing.
