Israeli military operation in Gaza expanding to seize ‘large areas’: ‘Expanding to crush and clean the area’
Israel’s military offensive in the Gaza Strip is expanding to «crush» the area of Hamas terrorists and seize «large areas,» Defense Minister Israel Katz said Wednesday.
Katz said in a statement that the military operation was «expanding to crush and clean the area of terrorists and terrorist infrastructure and seizing large areas that will be added to the security zones of the State of Israel.»
Israel’s security perimeter, which runs along the border with Israel in northern and eastern Gaza, has been used for decades as a way to protect its citizens residing near the territory.
It is unclear which areas of Gaza will be seized in the expanded operation, which Katz says includes the «extensive evacuation» of people from areas where fighting is happening.

The minister called on Gaza’s population to «expel Hamas and return all hostages.» The terror group still has 59 hostages, including 24 who are believed to still be alive. Most of the other captives were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals.
«This is the only way to end the war,» Katz said.
The Hostage Families Forum, which represents most of the hostages’ families, said it was «horrified to wake up this morning to the Defense Minister’s announcement about expanding military operations in Gaza.»
The Israeli government «has an obligation to free all 59 hostages from Hamas captivity — to pursue every possible channel to advance a deal for their release,» the group said, emphasizing that every passing day puts the captives’ lives at increased risk.
«Their lives hang in the balance as more and more disturbing details continue to emerge about the horrific conditions they’re being held in — chained, abused, and in desperate need of medical attention,» the group said.

«Our highest priority must be an immediate deal to bring ALL hostages back home — the living for rehabilitation and those killed for proper burial — and end this war,» it added.
The forum also called on the Trump administration and other mediators to «continue exerting pressure on Hamas for the immediate release of our loved ones.»
«Our highest priority must be an immediate deal to bring ALL hostages back home—the living for rehabilitation and those killed for proper burial—and end this war,» the group said.
Israel continued to attack the Gaza Strip, including with overnight airstrikes that killed 17 people in the southern city of Khan Younis, according to hospital officials.

Officials at the Nasser Hospital said the bodies of 12 people killed in an overnight airstrike were brought to the hospital, including five women — one of whom was pregnant — and two children. Officials at the Gaza European Hospital said five bodies of people killed in two separate airstrikes were taken to the hospital.
The war began on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a surprise attack against Israel, killing around 1,200 people and abducting 251 others.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians, including hundreds killed in airstrikes since a ceasefire ended about two weeks ago, according to the Hamas-run government’s Gaza Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between civilians and terrorists. Israel claims, without offering evidence, that it has killed roughly 20,000 terrorists in the war.

UN delegates walk out of Netanyahu address after cheering Palestinian leader day before

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Delegates at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) stormed out Friday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the stage and prepared to speak. The mass exit came after delegates spent days speaking about the situation in Gaza and proposals to end the nearly two-year war.
Their response to Netanyahu was a stark contrast to the long round of applause that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas received when he addressed the international body virtually on Thursday.

On Friday, as Netanyahu began his address, he was speaking to a nearly empty hall. It is unclear exactly which delegations stayed in the chamber, though U.S. delegates were present.
While he did not have the attention of all the U.N. delegates, Netanyahu revealed in his speech that he was addressing a much wider audience. Netanyahu revealed that his speech was played on speakers surrounding the Gaza Strip and that it was being streamed to Gazans’ cell phones.

The prime minister revealed the wide reach of his address after giving the hostages a message in Hebrew and in English.
«Our brave heroes, this is Prime Minister Netanyahu speaking to you live from the United Nations,» he began. «We have not forgotten you, not even for a second. The people of Israel are with you. We will not falter, and we will not rest until we bring all of you home.»

Netanyahu then turned his message to those holding the hostages in Gaza, including the leaders of Hamas, who could presumably hear his speech. He demanded the release of the 48 remaining hostages and gave an additional warning.
«Free the hostages now! If you do, you will live. If you don’t, Israel will hunt you down,» he said.
When Abbas spoke on Thursday, he slammed Israel’s «genocide» in Gaza, insisted his party is ready to take over the security and governance of the enclave and appealed to President Donald Trump for peace. He also demanded «full membership in the United Nations,» given that several European nations recognized a Palestinian state over the course of the UNGA.

«Palestine is ours. Jerusalem is the jewel of our hearts and our eternal capital. We will not leave our homeland. We will not leave our lands,» Abbas declared.
Abbas may have had a bigger audience in the hall than Netanyahu, but he was unable to see it in person after the State Department refused to approve his visa to travel to New York for the conference, citing support of terrorism.

Lawmakers push Congress to condemn ‘escalation of attacks’ on ICE officers after Dallas shooting

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: A group of lawmakers is urging Congress to formally condemn «violent attacks» against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as threats against federal facilities escalate.
It comes days after a shooter opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas, killing one detainee and injuring two others before turning the gun on himself. Federal authorities have called it a targeted attack.
The resolution is being led by Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., Republican Study Committee Chair August Pfluger, R-Texas, and House Small Business Committee Chair Roger Williams, R-Texas.
«Since President Trump took office, there has been a rise in hostile rhetoric and violence directed against ICE facilities and officers,» their resolution said.

It noted the most recent shooting, including officials’ report that one of the bullet casings was inscribed with «ANTI-ICE» on it, and it listed seven other incidents or threats aimed at ICE facilities and offices that have occurred since June.
The resolution said «these acts reflect an escalation of attacks against ICE and federal immigration enforcement operations, including a 1,000 percent increase in assaults on ICE officers.»
It also lauded ICE’s efforts under the Trump administration while warning that «violent, ideologically motivated attacks on ICE not only endanger life, but undermine public trust in the rule of law and impair the capacity of ICE to carry out lawful missions.»
The resolution is largely symbolic and would be an expression of solidarity with ICE if passed by the House.
The recent Dallas ICE facility shooting has seen bipartisan condemnation, but such a measure could divide Democrats with its praise of the Trump administration’s efforts. Democrats have criticized what they have seen as overly harsh tactics in pursuit of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

House Democratic leaders released a joint statement after the shooting that read, in part, «No one in America should be violently targeted, including our men and women in law enforcement who protect and serve our neighborhoods, and the immigrants who are too often the victims of dehumanizing rhetoric.»
Fry, who led the resolution, told Fox News Digital, «It is unacceptable that ICE officers are being targeted for upholding the laws of this country. Congress must send a clear and unmistakable message: violent attacks will not be tolerated, reckless rhetoric will not be excused, and we will stand firmly with those who protect us every day.»

Pfluger, who leads a 189-member group that acts as a de facto think tank for the House GOP, ripped the left but praised ICE.
«Radical leftists would rather see the criminal illegal aliens that the Biden administration let in our country continue to wreak havoc in our communities than support the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every single day to uphold our laws and defend American citizens,» he said.

Williams told Fox News Digital, «The heinous targeted attacks on our ICE facilities and officers are unacceptable and must never be tolerated. These men and women put their lives on the line every day to uphold the rule of law, protect our borders, and keep American families safe.»
In a statement posted on X this week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blamed «toxic anti-ICE rhetoric from sanctuary politicians and radical activists» for the rise in threats against immigration authorities.
It comes amid an increase in high-profile political violence seen over the last year.
