Following U.S. envoy Jared Kushner’s mid-August 2026 meetings with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israeli strikes intensified, with the IDF targeting Hamas commanders and weapons sites while expanding control along the Yellow Line beyond 60 percent of the territory. Senior officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, have reiterated commitments to degrade Hamas capabilities and prevent rebuilding, without announcing a return to large-scale ground maneuvers. These incremental operations and stalled disarmament talks continue to shape assessments of escalation risks.
