Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of hostilities beyond Gaza City that could threaten broader Israeli infrastructure or nearby Eastern Mediterranean shipping lanes.

• Track potential spillover effects on energy markets if the conflict draws in neighboring states or affects transit routes for regional oil and gas flows.
