Tensions have surged as Hamas fired rockets at Tel Aviv, marking its first offensive since the collapse of the recent ceasefire. This aggressive action follows the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) expanding their ground operations, particularly in the Rafah area of southern Gaza. Israeli troops have entered northern Gaza, leading to a series of retaliatory attacks from Hamas, further escalating the conflict. As sirens sounded across central Israel, the IDF confirmed intercepting some missiles, while clashes have erupted between thousands of Israelis protesting government policies. The deteriorating situation raises concerns of mounting casualties in Gaza as hostilities reignite.
