AI Summary:
Israel’s defence minister has announced a major expansion of the Israeli ground assault on Gaza. He promised to seize large areas of the Palestinian enclave and incorporate them into so-called security zones. Israeli forces continued their relentless bombardment of Gaza, killing at least 21 Palestinians since the early hours of the morning. Benjamin Netanyahu wants Hamas to release 59 Israeli captives remaining in Gaza. Israel responded by resuming its bombardment of Gaza and has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians since March 18. Israeli military has expanded forced displacement notices to Beit Hanoon, Beit Lahiya and nearby areas in the north of the enclave. Families of Israeli captives express ‘horror’ at renewed assault. Israel’s assault comes as all bakeries in Gaza closed down. Palestinian Civil Defence says continued siege has put Gaza back on famine.
