In the early hours of today, Israeli airstrikes targeted both northern and southern regions of the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of over 70 Palestinians, including women and children.
These attacks have intensified the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where the Health Ministry reports a total of 436 Palestinian deaths, among them 183 children, since the ceasefire was broken on Tuesday.
The renewed hostilities have led to widespread displacement, with many families seeking refuge amidst the ongoing violence. Hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed, struggling to provide adequate care to the increasing number of casualties.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to intensify military operations, stating that these actions are “only the beginning” of a broader campaign.
The Israeli military has also resumed ground operations, issuing a “last warning” to Palestinians in Gaza to return hostages and remove Hamas from power.
The international community has expressed deep concern over the escalating violence, with calls for immediate de-escalation and the protection of civilian lives. The breakdown of the ceasefire has dashed hopes for lasting peace, further destabilizing the region and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
