Israel has outlined an expanded zone of military control in Gaza, with some reports suggesting the area under control could increase to 70 percent. The expansion is part of a broader trend of Israel seizing land from its neighbors, with more territory taken since 2023 than in previous decades. The situation has raised concerns, including from the UN, which has expressed alarm over killings near the armistice line, and has also led to tensions in southern Lebanon, where a Lebanese soldier was killed.
