As negotiations over a ceasefire and prisoner exchange remain deadlocked, an Israeli official warned that Israel would expand military operations across Gaza City and central refugee camps, promising to carry out Rafah-style offensives that would “reduce everything to dust.” Israel has issued fresh evacuation orders for parts of Gaza amid renewed military escalation. The threats come as new diplomatic efforts are underway to secure a 60-day ceasefire, though neither Israel nor Hamas has formally responded.
