Escalation in Gaza Conflict as Israeli Airstrikes Kill Over 80 in Two Days

Renewed violence coincides with ongoing Qatar-mediated talks between Israel and Hamas, with no resolution in sight.

Israeli military reported targeting over 100 'terror sites' in Gaza on Friday and Saturday, claiming dozens of Hamas militants were killed.
Health officials in Gaza, controlled by Hamas, stated that at least 88 Palestinians have been killed in the last 48 hours, including 23 in a single airstrike on a residential building.
The conflict, which began in October 2023 following a deadly Hamas attack on Israel, has resulted in over 45,800 reported Palestinian deaths and widespread devastation in Gaza.
International mediators, including Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S., have struggled to negotiate a ceasefire and secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
Key issues in the talks include the establishment of a permanent ceasefire, with both sides accusing the other of delaying progress.
