Full Takeover: Israel Greenlights Total Seizure of Gaza Strip in Explosive War Push

In a bold and unprecedented move, Israel has officially approved plans to seize full control of the Gaza Strip, igniting a new phase in the war that promises to reshape the region, and send global shockwaves.

Government officials confirmed to The Associated Press that the Israeli Cabinet gave the green light in an emergency vote early Monday morning, just hours after a Houthi missile strike rocked Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion Airport, wounding four and halting flights in a stunning escalation.

Now, the Israeli military is calling up tens of thousands of reservists in what’s being described as a massive, all-out ground campaign aimed at crushing Hamas and rescuing remaining hostages. But the operation also carries heavy risks, chief among them, a looming humanitarian catastrophe as hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians are expected to be forced further south.

“This is the most significant military escalation since the war began,” one Israeli official said. “The objective is clear: dismantle Hamas and secure every inch of Gaza.”

The decision comes amid rising domestic pressure and international criticism. The images of war-torn neighborhoods, wounded civilians, and displaced families are expected to intensify global scrutiny, but inside Israel, the tone is defiant.

“This isn’t just about retaliation,” a military analyst told CBS/AP. “It’s about reshaping the battlefield and the future.”

As tanks roll, reservists mobilize, and airstrikes intensify, the world watches closely. What happens next could define the trajectory of the conflict and the region for years to come.
