In the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Saturday that Israeli forces have entered the second phase of the war in Gaza.
Ground operations against Hamas militants are underway, limiting communication in the besieged enclave.
The conflict, sparked by Hamas' October 7 assault, has led to a three-week blockade and bombardment of Gaza.
Health authorities report 7,650 Palestinians killed, prompting international concern over the toll, with growing calls for a humanitarian pause to aid civilians.
Western countries generally support Israel's right to self-defense amid mounting global unease.
