Israeli Troops Move Into Gaza City
Israel's military has pushed into Gaza City's center. This move comes amid its ongoing conflict with Hamas. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant confirmed this advance. He highlighted the coordination among different military branches.
Gaza City is crucial for Hamas's activity, according to Israel. The Israeli attack on October 7 targeted this area. The assault aimed to stop Hamas after they attacked Israeli areas. That attack caused around 1,400 deaths.
The Israeli army has attacked from the air and now on the ground. The ground assault began over ten days ago. The army is using tanks and other vehicles. These are to help soldiers on the ground. The focus is on Gaza City's northern region. Civilians have been told to leave the area.
The United Nations reports a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. There is a big need for food and medicine for two million people. Israel has let some aid come in from Egypt. Yet, the United Nations says it's not enough.
Israel faces international pressure to stop its military actions. The United States and Arab countries have urged a stop. However, Israel's operations continue. The Health Ministry in Gaza reports over 10,000 deaths.
The United States and the European Union see Hamas as a terrorist group. Iran supports Hamas with training and money. Hamas keeps firing rockets into Israel.
Israel plans to control key parts of Gaza City. This includes Al-Shifa Hospital. Itamar Yaar, a former security official, mentioned this. He says it's just a matter of time before Israel takes over.
Looking ahead, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke about Gaza's future. He said Hamas cannot stay in charge. He talked about this in Tokyo at a G7 meeting. He believes the Palestinian people should lead Gaza.
Blinken does not want Gaza's size reduced. Israel may create a buffer zone to keep its borders secure.
Israel's James Cleverly agrees with Blinken.

⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.
