Israel extends Gaza and Lebanon operations into Passover, with over 400 strikes and ongoing regional tensions.

Israel expects its military campaign in Gaza and against Iran-backed forces to continue for at least three more weeks, with operations extending through Passover and contingency plans in place, according to IDF spokesman Effie Defrin. The Israeli military has conducted over 400 strike waves since February 28, targeting Iranian missile infrastructure, air defenses, and weapons sites. Hezbollah has entered the conflict, and intelligence suggests Iran may continue limited rocket attacks during Passover unless a ceasefire occurs. The U.S. remains involved in coordination, while regional tensions persist, humanitarian concerns grow, and global markets react to escalating risks.
