Israel presses Gaza offensive in war it says will last 'months'

14 Sept 01:30 Key points summarised by AI

Israel informs the US that its offensive to dismantle Hamas in Gaza will last "more than several months," intensifying ground operations with ongoing heavy battles.
The conflict has resulted in over 18,700 deaths in Gaza, predominantly women and children, displacing 1.9 million people and causing a severe humanitarian crisis with widespread hunger and a looming breakdown of civil order.
Despite strong US backing, Washington urges Israel to enhance civilian protection, while Israel vows to continue the war "until victory" regardless of international support, even as a UN General Assembly resolution for a ceasefire passed.
The war's regional impact is growing, with Yemen's Huthi rebels attacking a Red Sea cargo ship in retaliation for the Palestinian conflict, highlighting broader instability.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
