Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered his army to attack Gaza with full force. The tension has jeopardized the ceasefire agreement in the region.
The editorial staff reports that American officials, speaking to Axios, have urged Israel to refrain from radical steps that could lead to the collapse of the ceasefire. Israel's state broadcaster, meanwhile, reported that the government has decided to expand its control zone within Gaza "as punishment for Hamas."
An Israeli military source added that Hamas forces violated the ceasefire by attacking Israeli units east of the deployment line.
