- Gaza Strip covers 146 square kilometers and borders Egypt to the southwest and Israel to the north and east.
- Hamas has governed the Gaza Strip since 2007, taking control from the Fatah-led Palestinian government.
- The January 2026 war began after Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
Israel-Lebanon War
Israel and Lebanon have signed a US-brokered framework agreement in Washington that aims to end the state of war, restore Lebanese sovereignty, and disarm Hezbollah, but the militant group has rejected the deal as "null and void" and "humiliating" while continuing attacks on Israel. Under the agreement, the Lebanese Army will take exclusive control of designated "pilot zones" in southern Lebanon following Hezbollah's removal, with Israel promising progressive withdrawal only after Hezbollah is fully disarmed; however, Israel maintains its security presence in an expanded zone until disarmament is verified, and ongoing violence threatens the deal's implementation.
