According to these reports, Israeli forces have been advancing gradually and quietly. <\/p>\n<p>Mehr News Agency, citing the Palestinian news agency Ma\u2019an, stated that while global attention has been focused on developments in Iran and Lebanon, the Israeli army has established new military routes and positions in Gaza, capturing more territory.<\/p>\n<p>The report added that Israeli military officials have attributed these actions to Hamas\u2019s failure to adhere to ceasefire terms. However, critics argue that Tel Aviv has also previously violated ceasefire commitments, and the continued military operations have further complicated the situation for civilians in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli military circles estimate the likelihood of further territorial expansion under Israeli control in the coming months. Simultaneously, targeted operations against Hamas forces and other Palestinian resistance groups have continued.<\/p>\n<p>The Gaza Strip, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, has witnessed repeated large-scale conflicts in recent years.
