00:00Israel's military operation in the Gaza Strip is expanding to seize large areas, the Defense
00:08Minister announced.
00:11Israel Katz said the offensive would expand to, in his words, crush and clean the area
00:16of militants and seize large areas that will be added to the security zones of the State
00:22of Israel.
00:25While he didn't specify which parts of Gaza would be seized, Katz announced an extensive
00:30evacuation of Palestinians from fighting areas.
00:36Israel has long maintained a buffer zone inside Gaza along its security fence.
00:41This has greatly expanded since the war began in 2023.
00:47Israel says the buffer zone is needed for security while Palestinians view it as a land
00:52grab.
00:55Katz's announcement came as Israel continued targeting the Gaza Strip with overnight strikes,
01:00reportedly killing at least 30 people.
