Israel Expands Op in South, May Take “months” to Control Khan Younis, Netanyahu Defends Aid to Gaza

An IDF airstrike reportedly hit a residential building in the Ma’an area, east of Khan Younis, resulting in casualties. Israel’s military believes it could take months to take control of Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis, the Wall Street Journal reported. Hamas will not engage in hostage-release talks until Israel stops military activities in Gaza, Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported. Israeli ministers criticised PM Netanyahu’s handling of the war amid the rising toll of fallen IDF soldiers, the Times of Israel reported. As Israeli ministers argued over humanitarian aid entering Gaza, Netanyahu reportedly said “the whole world will be against us” if Israel blocks Gaza aid.
