[A soldier sitting and holding a weapon as smoke rises in the back.] An Israeli soldier during a military tour for journalists in Gaza yesterday. Avishag Shaar-Yashuv for The New York Times Israel said it was shifting its war in Gaza Israel has begun a [new and less intense phase of its invasion of Gaza](~/AAAAAQA~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), its military said, after weeks of pressure to scale back its offensive.

The Israeli military’s top spokesman said the new phase would involve fewer airstrikes and ground troops in Gaza after a drawdown began this month. He said Israel would now focus on Hamas’s southern and central strongholds. “We can expect more targeted operations rather than wide maneuvers,” Patrick Kingsley, our Jerusalem bureau chief, told us. “Whether that alleviates civilian suffering remains to be seen: The strikes are clearly still continuing, killing scores every day, and more than 80 percent of Gazans are displaced, many of them with no home to return to.” The killing of the Hezbollah commander, Wissam Hassan al-Tawil, came a day after Israel said that it had killed at least seven Hezbollah members in the Radwan unit, which Israel says aims to infiltrate its northern border. A Lebanese official said al-Tawil was in that unit. Lebanon: Hezbollah attacks damaged an Israeli military base on Saturday, one of the group’s biggest assaults in months. The Biden administration has been calling for an agreement that would move Hezbollah forces away from the border. Diplomacy: Antony Blinken, the U.S. secretary of state, arrived in Israel yesterday for talks aimed at [preventing the conflict from escalating](~/AAAAAQA~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) into a broader regional war.

The move paves the way for a former prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, to run in elections on Feb. 8. Sharif, a three-time former prime minister, was disqualified from running for office for life in 2017. He never finished out any of his terms, having been toppled either by corruption allegations or a military coup. He left for London in 2019 but returned in October to revive his political career. Context: Pakistan has been reeling from a political and economic crisis since April 2022, when former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is in jail but remains widely popular, was ousted by a parliamentary vote of no confidence after losing the support of the military establishment.

The rocket launched successfully, but a spacecraft it carried malfunctioned and likely will not be able to land on the lunar surface. The Vulcan was built by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin, which could challenge the primacy of SpaceX. It also carried a secondary payload for Celestis, a company that sends people’s ashes or DNA into space. Among those whose remains are on this journey is Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. Samples of hair from three American presidents are also onboard.
