Briefly

After weeks of failed negotiations to extend a ceasefire, the Israeli military initiated airstrikes across Gaza, hitting multiple targets and resulting in at least 100 deaths according to Palestinian health officials. This escalation follows tensions over hostages held by Hamas and accusations against the group for violations of the ceasefire agreement. The strikes are broader than previous drone operations, targeting key Hamas infrastructure and leadership. The Israeli government claims to have consulted U.S. officials before carrying out the attacks, indicating a significant shift in their military strategy against Hamas.
