At least hundreds of people have reportedly been killed in airstrikes across Gaza after Israel resumed combat operations in the Palestinian territory.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the renewed offensive, warning that the wave of airstrikes is “only the beginning.” He stated that future ceasefire negotiations would “only take place under fire.”
The escalation comes after a period of relative calm, raising fears of further violence in an already volatile region. Residents of Gaza described intense bombardments, with buildings destroyed and families forced to flee.
The international community has expressed deep concern over the rising casualties, calling for restraint and urging both sides to prevent further loss of life.
The situation remains tense as the world watches closely for further developments in the conflict.
