Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Galant stated on Wednesday that Israeli forces are expanding their operations in the Gaza Strip to control "vast areas" following the resumption of their offensive against the region last month.

He added in a statement that the Israeli operation in Gaza "is expanding to destroy and evacuate the area, and to control vast areas that will be integrated into Israeli security zones."
This announcement comes after Galant warned last week that Israeli forces would "operate with full force" in additional parts of the Gaza Strip.
Israel resumed its intensive bombardment of Gaza on March 18, followed by a new ground offensive, thereby ending a ceasefire that lasted nearly two months in its war with Hamas, after negotiations over the next stages reached an impasse.
Since the resumption of the war, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported at least 1,042 people have been martyred in Israeli attacks.
