> **Open Intelligence Dossier** · First detected: 2026-06-29 18:07 UTC · Category: World

## Executive Summary
IDF warns Hamas is rearming as Israel expands Gaza control, while the United States blocks a new offensive.

## Intelligence Brief
The Israeli Defense Forces say they now control roughly 70% of the Gaza Strip and are preparing a next phase of operations. Officials warn that Hamas is rehabilitating and readying for renewed fighting.


Israel is planning a new Gaza offensive and has shifted the Yellow Line to expand its control. Coverage from The Jerusalem Post, The Times of Israel and Haaretz highlights the IDF’s operational gains, while Daily Beirut and All Israel News report senior officers’ warnings about Hamas.


The Media Line notes a Gaza Board of Peace meeting, and Herald.co.zw records Palestine’s condemnation of the expanded control. Future reporting will focus on whether the United States maintains its opposition to a renewed Israeli operation, any further shifts in the Yellow Line, and additional diplomatic responses such as Palestinian statements or peace board meetings.
