Israel Resumes Airstrikes on Gaza, Killing Over 330, Ending Ceasefire
Deadliest Strikes in Months
Early this morning, Israeli airstrikes pounded the Gaza Strip, killing at least 330 people and injuring hundreds more. The strikes shattered the two-month ceasefire with Hamas, escalating tensions in the already volatile region.
Netanyahu Justifies Attacks
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the military action, claiming Hamas had refused to release hostages and extend the first phase of a U.S.-proposed agreement. The bombings targeted schools, humanitarian shelters, and densely populated areas, leaving scores of civilians, including children, among the dead.
U.S. Response and Global Reaction
The United States, informed in advance about Israel’s plans, stated that groups like Hamas would “pay a price” for their actions. Meanwhile, global leaders condemned the renewed violence, urging restraint to prevent further loss of civilian lives. Hamas accused Israel of breaking the ceasefire and jeopardizing hostages still held in Gaza.
The Battlefield Where Heaven and Earth Collided
Political Crisis in Israel
The escalation has deepened political turmoil in Israel. Netanyahu’s recent decision to fire Shin Bet intelligence chief Ronen Bar sparked backlash. The opposition and Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara warned that the move could be illegal. Protests erupted in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, with demonstrators denouncing the government’s handling of the conflict.
Uncertain Future for Gaza
The end of the ceasefire raises fears of prolonged violence. With rising casualties and mounting destruction, concerns grow over the humanitarian crisis. Analysts warn that further military action could plunge the region into a deeper cycle of bloodshed, leaving civilians to bear the brunt of the conflict.
