Renewed Violence Erupts in Gaza as Israel Launches Strikes Following Accusations Against Hamas
Tensions escalate in the Middle East as Israel resumes military strikes on Gaza, claiming that Hamas has violated a ceasefire agreement. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has ordered immediate and powerful attacks after reports of Palestinian rocket fire targeting Israeli soldiers. Local health officials report significant casualties, with over 100 reported killed in the strikes. Despite the escalating violence, Israeli military sources assert that a ceasefire remains in place, complicating the already fragile situation. The situation is further exacerbated as Hamas denies responsibility for any attacks on Israeli forces. Observers warn that the continued hostilities threaten to completely dismantle the truce brokered by the US.
