Israel's Operations in Khan Yunis Expected to Last 3 to 4 More Weeks

(Axios) Barak Ravid - A senior Israeli defense official told Axios Israel expects to end its military operation in Khan Yunis in three to four weeks. The high-intensity phase of the war would likely last another three to four weeks, he said. The IDF has "made significant progress" in northern Gaza, but the operation in Khan Yunis in the south "has just started." The Israeli official said the U.S. isn't giving Israel a firm deadline to stop the operation, but that the U.S. would be satisfied if Israel ended the high intensity phase of the operation by the end of December, while Israel is aiming for the end of January. "The U.S. message is that they would want us to finish faster, with less civilian casualties and more humanitarian aid to Gaza. We want the same thing, but there is another player here and this is the enemy that doesn't agree. The U.S. understands this. We are working together. We need them and they need us."
