Israeli military briefers have shown journalists a map of Gaza indicating progress against Hamas. The IDF claims to have “dismantled” 20 out of 24 Hamas battalions and is considering action against the remaining four in Rafah. US abstention on a UN cease-fire vote and a canceled Israeli delegation hint at strained international relations. The IDF is shifting tactics to more targeted raids, aiming to neutralize specific Hamas regrouping points. Though facing challenges, the IDF is making strategic gains in Gaza, with reduced Israeli casualties and a significant decrease in Hamas rocket attacks.
