Israel’s military has launched extensive strikes against Hamas targets in Gaza, jeopardizing a fragile ceasefire. The goal is to secure the release of Israeli hostages, both living and dead. Dozens of people have been killed and wounded in the attacks, and there have been multiple strikes on homes. The Gaza Civil Defense is struggling to respond due to limited resources. This recent escalation marks the heaviest bombardment by Israel since the ceasefire was established in January. The Trump administration and White House were reportedly informed by Israel about the strikes. The Gaza Health Ministry reported at least 14 deaths over a 24-hour period in separate Israeli strikes over the weekend. A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas was announced by the Biden administration in January, with accusations of violations by both sides since then. The first phase of the deal recently expired, and negotiations are ongoing for a long-term resolution. International mediators are working to strengthen the ceasefire, with the U.S. special envoy dismissing a recent Hamas proposal as unacceptable. Explosions have been heard in Gaza, and ambulances are responding to the aftermath. Hamas has condemned Israel’s actions as an unprovoked escalation, while Netanyahu’s office stated that the military plan was approved by the political leadership.
