The fragile ceasefire in Gaza has collapsed after Israel launched deadly airstrikes early Tuesday, marking the deadliest day in over 15 months. Palestinian authorities report over 400 deaths, many of them children.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to use increasing military strength against Hamas, accusing them of rejecting peace proposals.
The strikes, which targeted Hamas sites, followed Israel’s Defense Minister declaring that military operations had resumed.
Hamas, in turn, blamed Netanyahu for violating the ceasefire and putting hostages at risk. Hospitals in Gaza are overwhelmed as casualties mount.
With the ceasefire now shattered, the conflict continues to escalate, with civilian casualties increasing amid ongoing Israeli air raids.
