Israeli officials have signaled that a renewed major ground offensive remains under active consideration to compel Hamas disarmament, as the fragile US-brokered ceasefire continues to erode through incremental IDF territorial gains along the Yellow Line and a 35 percent rise in airstrikes since April. The most recent catalyst was the May 16 precision strike in Gaza City that eliminated senior Hamas military commander Izz al-Din al-Haddad, underscoring Israel's ongoing targeted operations while military planners finalize options for larger-scale action if Hamas refuses to surrender weapons. These developments sustain trader focus on the balance between diplomatic pressure for de-escalation and Israel's stated security priorities, with scheduled talks on ceasefire implementation and any shifts in US or international mediation likely to influence near-term probabilities.
