Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet has approved a gradual expansion of the offensive against Hamas in Gaza, Israeli public broadcaster Kan has reported, citing sources with knowledge of the details, Reuters reports.

The Israeli military has already begun issuing tens of thousands of call-up orders for its reserve forces, looking to expand the Gaza campaign, army chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir said in a statement on Sunday.

In a video message posted on X on Sunday, hours after part of a missile launched from Yemen by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia fell close to Israel’s main gateway, Ben Gurion Airport, Netanyahu said he was convening the security cabinet to discuss “the next stage” of the war in Gaza.

“We are increasing the pressure with the goal of returning our people (hostages) and defeating Hamas,” Zamir told troops, according to the statement from the army.

The security cabinet also approved a new plan for aid distribution in Gaza, Israels Ynet news website reported on Monday, though it was unclear when supplies would be let in to the enclave.
