Israeli forces escalated military operations in Gaza during late April 2026, with heavy artillery shelling, tank fire, and bombing reported east of Gaza City on April 25 and advances into western areas, expanding territorial control despite a fragile ceasefire. This follows early April incursions and comes amid reports of sidelining a US-backed technocratic administration, heightening tensions with Hamas strongholds. No formal announcement of a major ground offensive—defined as large-scale troop deployment like the 2025 Gaza City operation—has occurred, but incremental pressure sustains trader focus on IDF statements, ceasefire compliance, and potential UN or multilateral diplomatic interventions that could either trigger escalation or de-escalation before the resolution deadline.

A "major ground offensive" is defined as a large-scale military operation that involves more than 1,000 Israeli ground forces entering Gazan territory that was not under Israeli control at the start of the offensive. This excludes smaller raids, special operations, or limited incursions directly bordering buffer zones already under Israeli control.
The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
