Israel launches 'New Phase' of Gaza Operation
Shafaq News/ The Israeli military announced on Tuesday the launch of a 'new and different phase' of its operations in Gaza, as the humanitarian situation in the besieged enclave continues to deteriorate. In a statement, Military Spokesperson Avichay Adraee said the new phase aims to 'complete the objectives of the war, including the return of the hostages and the defeat of the terrorist group Hamas.' According to the statement, forces from the 401st Armored Brigade and the Givati Brigade, operating under the 162nd Division, began a new offensive in northern Gaza, destroying what the army described as 'suspicious buildings' and killing 'dozens of Hamas operatives.' Troops reportedly discovered a tunnel entrance next to a building containing a cache of weapons allegedly used by armed groups in the enclave. The forces also launched operations in the Tel al-Zaatar area, where military installations were reportedly targeted and fighters killed. Adraee added that over 30 'terrorist infrastructures,' including weapons depots, booby-trapped buildings, and reconnaissance posts, were struck during the campaign. 🔴 الفرقة 162 تعود للقتال في قطاع غزة: ندخل إلى مرحلة جديدة مختلفة في حجمها وقوتها لاستكمال أهداف الحرب في اعادة المختطفين وحسم حماس الارهابية⭕️بدأت قوات اللواء 401 ولواء غفعاتي تحت قيادة الفرقة 162 بالعمل شمال قطاع غزة حيث رصدت ودمرت مباني مشبوهة في المنطقة وقضت على عشرات… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) May 20, 2025 The announcement comes as Israeli airstrikes continue across the Gaza Strip. According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, at least 53 Palestinians were killed and more than 50 were injured in strikes on multiple areas since dawn on Tuesday. The death toll, since October 2023, reached 53,573. In addition, Palestinian media outlets reported that Israeli forces targeted a medicine warehouse at Nasser Hospital and struck power generators at the Indonesian Hospital. Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza said an Israeli drone opened fire on an ambulance in the facility's courtyard. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) stated that life in Gaza has 'completely collapsed,' warning that conditions are deteriorating by the day, with malnutrition spreading rapidly across the strip. UN Humanitarian Coordinator Tom Fletcher said up to 14,000 babies in Gaza could die within 48 hours if aid supplies fail to reach them. He emphasized the urgent need to 'flood the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid.' Fletcher noted that, for the first time in 80 days, Israel signaled readiness to allow 11 aid trucks into Gaza, though only five were permitted to enter as of midday Tuesday. 'I want to save as many of these 14,000 babies as we can in the next 48 hours,' he told the BBC, describing the international response as inadequate to meet the scale of need. The crisis follows an 11-week blockade that began on March 2, during which, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, 57 children died from causes linked to severe malnutrition. A new report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) released Tuesday warned that 470,000 people in Gaza are now facing catastrophic levels of hunger (IPC Phase 5), and that the entire population is experiencing acute food insecurity. المكتب الإعلامي الحكومي: 3 أشهر والاحتلال لم يُدخل حبة قمح واحدة على قطاع غزة. — المركز الفلسطيني للإعلام (@PalinfoAr) May 20, 2025

First since Ceasefire: Israel warns then strikes southern Lebanon
Shafaq News/ Israeli warplanes struck Toul District in Nabatiyeh on Thursday, marking the first time since the November 2024 ceasefire that Israel issued a public warning ahead of a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military's spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, posted on X, urging civilians to evacuate an area near a specific building. According to Adraee, the targeted location was in proximity to facilities affiliated with Hezbollah. Lebanese media confirmed the attack but reported no immediate casualties. #عاجل 🔸تحذير عاجل للمتواجدين في قرية تول في جنوب لبنان وتحديدًا لكل من يتواجد في المبنى المحدد بالأحمر وفق ما يُعرض في الخارطة والمباني القريبة منه🔸تتواجدون بالقرب من منشآت تابعة لحزب الله الارهابي🔸من أجل سلامتكم وسلامة أبناء عائلاتكم, أنتم مضطرون لإخلاء هذه المباني فورًا… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) May 22, 2025 In a separate statement, Adraee announced that Israeli jets had also conducted an airstrike on a Hezbollah military site in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley. The target reportedly contained rocket launch platforms and other combat equipment, following surveillance that detected Hezbollah activity at the location. Thursday's developments come amid a marked escalation in Israeli military operations across Lebanon. The Toul strike was Israel's eighth reported airstrike in the country this week alone. #عاجل 🔸أغارت طائرات حربية لجيش الدفاع قبل قليل على موقع عسكري احتوى على منصات صاروخية ووسائل قتالية لحزب الله في منطقة البقاع بعد ان تم رصد أنشطة لحزب الله داخل الموقع. 🔸كما تمت مهاجمة بنى تحتية ارهابية ومنصات قذائف وصواريخ تابعة لحزب الله في جنوب لبنان. 🔸وجود وسائل قتالية… — افيخاي ادرعي (@AvichayAdraee) May 22, 2025 In addition to the aerial bombardments, drone attacks were reported on Thursday in the towns of Rabb Thalathin and al-Wazzani, resulting in at least one confirmed civilian death. Earlier the same day, an Israeli drone targeted several prefabricated shelters in the border village of Mhaibib. Since the ceasefire took effect in November 2024, the Lebanese authorities have documented more than 3,200 Israeli violations, with over 200 deaths and approximately 400 injuries recorded. According to the terms of the ceasefire agreement, Israel was required to complete a full withdrawal from southern Lebanon by January 26. However, the deadline was extended to February 18 after Israel refused to comply. As of today, Israeli forces remain stationed at five military outposts along the border.

Israel Shares New Gaza Map: ‘Evacuate Immediately'
The Israeli military has ordered Palestinians in Gaza's major southern city of Khan Younis to "evacuate immediately" in the face of an "unprecedented" new offensive from Israel. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said over the weekend that it had begun "extensive ground operations" in the north and south of the Gaza Strip, dubbed "Operation Gideon's Chariots." The IDF said the country's air force had carried out "a preliminary wave of strikes" on more than 670 targets described as belonging to Hamas, a Palestinian militant organization, in the previous week. Hamas launched attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, killing more than 1,200 people. Another 251 people were taken as hostages into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Israel then began an intensive aerial and ground campaign against Hamas in the densely populated area, vowing to dismantle the group's infrastructure and command chain and return the hostages. The war has devastated the territory, displacing the strip's almost 2 million inhabitants several times and killing more than 53,000 people, according to Hamas-run authorities. This number does not differentiate between combatants and civilians. The IDF will "launch an unprecedented attack to destroy the capabilities of terrorist organizations" in several areas of Khan Younis, Avichay Adraee, the IDF's Arabic-language spokesperson, said in a social media post on Monday. Residents of the city "must evacuate immediately" west, Adraee said. Khan Younis is now "a dangerous combat zone," the spokesperson added. Adraee shared a map showing where the IDF would concentrate its military push. Nadav Shoshani, the chief international media spokesperson for the IDF, said in separate comments on Sunday that the military was beginning a "new phase" in the war. The IDF said on Monday it had struck more than 160 targets in Gaza in the past day. Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that civilians had been killed on Monday in an Israeli air strike in central Gaza, citing unspecified local medical sources. According to the news agency, 28 people were killed in Gaza, including 16 in Khan Younis. A six-week ceasefire deal, brokered in Qatar with heavy influence from U.S. President Donald Trump's officials in January, ended with renewed fighting earlier this year. Continued negotiations have failed to yield further ceasefire deals, denting Trump's ambitions to secure an end to the 19 months of war in Gaza. Negotiations to stop fighting in Ukraine, which Trump has called for, have likewise dragged on without an agreement between Kyiv and Moscow. The Israeli government said on Sunday that it would allow "a basic quantity of food to be brought in for the population" of Gaza following Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid imposed from early March. International humanitarian organizations and officials across the world have warned of dire conditions inside Gaza and have pushed for Israel to resume aid deliveries into the territory. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement: "Israel will allow a basic quantity of food to be brought in for the population in order to make certain that no starvation crisis develops in the Gaza Strip." Effie Defrin, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces, said in a media briefing on Sunday: "We are in a prolonged war—'Gideon's Chariots' is another phase of it." It is not yet clear whether a fresh round of ceasefire talks will yield any progress toward a deal to end the war in Gaza.
