Israeli security cabinet okays plan to expand offensive on Hamas

The Israeli security cabinet has given the green light to a plan to widen its offensive in Gaza on Hamas, in which the territory will reportedly be seized, the BBC reported on May 5th.
Tens of thousands reservists have been called up by the military of Israel in the run up to the accelerated military activity. The military has said it is ramping up pressure in a bid to get the Israeli hostages freed and to prevail over Hamas.
Reportedly, the plan will come into effect following US President Donald Trump’s trip to the region, set to take place next week.
