Israeli officials have signaled readiness to resume major combat operations in Gaza if Hamas fails to disarm under the stalled October 2025 U.S.-brokered ceasefire, with defense planners developing detailed options for a phased conquest of Gaza City. Israel currently maintains control over roughly 60-70% of the territory through the expanding “Yellow Line” buffer and has conducted targeted ground raids and strikes while rejecting withdrawal without full demilitarization. Prime Minister Netanyahu has directed further territorial gains and stated troops will not retreat, amid assessments that Hamas is rebuilding capabilities in remaining areas. Upcoming Israeli elections and U.S. diplomatic pressure represent near-term variables that could influence the timing or scale of any escalation before year-end.

A "major ground offensive" is defined as a large-scale military operation that involves more than 1,000 Israeli ground forces entering Gazan territory that was not under Israeli control at the start of the offensive. This excludes smaller raids, special operations, or limited incursions directly bordering buffer zones already under Israeli control.
The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
