Escalation in Gaza: Fragile Ceasefire Shattered by Israeli Strikes
Israeli planes targeted Gaza, accusing Hamas of breaching a ceasefire. At least 19 were killed, further straining the fragile U.S.-brokered truce. Both sides blame each other for violations as tensions rise. Meanwhile, the search for hostages and their remains continues amid continued uncertainties in the region.
Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza on Tuesday following accusations that Hamas breached a ceasefire, a truce brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this month. At least 19 people were reported dead, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli military has not issued a statement regarding the strikes. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered immediate "powerful attacks," citing Hamas's violation of the ceasefire by assaulting Israeli forces. U.S. officials admit there might be skirmishes but insist the ceasefire holds.
Meanwhile, tensions escalate as Israel and Hamas exchange accusations over the ceasefire's breaches, including disagreements over the return of hostage bodies. The conflict endures despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, with hostilities resurfacing, particularly in Gaza City and Khan Younis.
