Israel has started a new military operation called “Gideon’s Chariots” in the Gaza Strip, targeting Hamas and aiming to achieve its goals for the war in Gaza, including hostage releases and the defeat of the militant group. The operation began on Friday night with extensive strikes and troop mobilization. This comes as US President Donald Trump concluded his four-day trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates on the same day.
