Tensions Escalate as Israeli Airstrikes Target Gaza Amid Ceasefire Violations
Israel launched airstrikes on Gaza City following accusations by Prime Minister Netanyahu that Hamas breached the fragile ceasefire. While Hamas denied violations, tensions remain high as both sides blame each other. The ceasefire, established to end a prolonged conflict, is now threatened amid ongoing hostilities and unresolved hostage retrieval issues.
Israeli aircraft targeted Gaza City on Tuesday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Hamas breached the ceasefire, initiating new military actions against the group. The strikes hit an area near Shifa hospital, Gaza's largest facility in the north, with no immediate reports of casualties.
The Israeli military has yet to comment on these recent strikes, part of a tense ceasefire that began three weeks ago. It follows Netanyahu's call for immediate retaliatory action, blaming Hamas for an attack on Israeli forces within a controlled enclave.
The ceasefire, supported by the U.S., initiated on October 10 to halt the ongoing two-year conflict, faces further challenges over unresolved hostage exchanges and mutual accusations of breach by Israel and Hamas, risking the fragile truce.
