Israel has redirected military resources to expanded ground operations in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah since mid-March, alongside responses to Iranian threats, stretching IDF capacities. Earlier January reports of potential Gaza City operations hinged on Trump administration approval, but no such action has launched amid the truce. Traders eye Hamas's disarmament response, potential ceasefire violations, and regional escalations as pivotal before any deadline.
