In an overnight operation, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out a targeted raid in northern Gaza utilizing tanks. Despite this action, Israel has not yet initiated a full-scale ground invasion, stating that the raid was conducted in preparation for forthcoming combat stages.

Over the past 24 hours, Israeli air strikes have reportedly hit approximately 250 Hamas targets, intensifying the conflict. Meanwhile, the United Nations' humanitarian coordinator has issued a grim assessment, declaring that "nowhere is safe in Gaza."

The UN agency responsible for Palestinian affairs announced a limited resupply of fuel on Wednesday. However, they caution that overall supplies are dwindling perilously across the Gaza Strip.

According to the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza, the toll from the ongoing conflict since October 7th has now reached a devastating figure, with nearly 6,500 people reported killed. Of these, over 1,400 lost their lives during the initial wave of attacks launched by Hamas against Israel. Additionally, more than 200 individuals are still being held hostage within Gaza, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.

The situation remains fluid, with international efforts to de-escalate the conflict ongoing, and the world closely watching for any developments in the region.
