A CNN report gives an estimation of when Israel’s war on Gaza may end, adding that Washington is deeply concerned about further Israeli operations in southern Gaza.
The Israeli army may shift to a lower-intensity strategy that narrowly targets specific members and leaders of the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas and leaders in January, CNN reported.
According to the outlet, Washington is deeply concerned about further Israeli operations in southern Gaza.
The United States has warned Israel in “hard” and “direct” talks that the Israeli army cannot repeat the same destructive tactics it used in the north of the Palestinian enclave and must do more to limit civilian casualties, CNN said Tuesday, citing a number of unnamed senior US officials.

Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed by Israeli airstrikes across various areas of Gaza since Friday morning, as Israel resumed its aggression after a seven-day truce, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza.
A four-day truce, which began on Friday, November 24, was extended twice, and collapsed on Friday, December 1, at 7 am local time.
Under the truce, hostilities were suspended and limited humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza, while several prisoner exchanges between Israel and Hamas took place.
In a just-released video, Al Qassam Brigades members are seen destroying and burning several Israeli tanks at Al Shuja'iyeh neighborhood in eastern Gaza City. Several Israeli soldiers were reportedly burned and killed.

The head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in Gaza (UNRWA), Thomas White, said that “even in Rafah, where people are being forced to flee, the sound of airstrikes punctuates the day,” adding that they have “nothing to tell” people asking for advice on where to find safety.
White added that Rafah “will not cope” with a doubling of the displaced population, noting that there is not enough water and sanitation infrastructure and that there are “thousands without shelter living in the open.”
Since October 7, 16,250 Palestinians have been killed and more than 43,616 wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
