Israel Escalates Gaza Conflict with Renewed Strikes and Ground Operations

Military actions follow collapse of January ceasefire, with over 400 Palestinians killed and hostages' fate uncertain.

Israel has resumed airstrikes and launched ground incursions into Gaza, breaking a two-month ceasefire established in January.
The Israeli military has partially retaken the Netzarim Corridor, a strategic area dividing northern and southern Gaza, and plans further operations.
Over 400 Palestinians, including women and children, have been killed in recent airstrikes, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a 'last warning' to Gaza residents, demanding the return of hostages and the removal of Hamas from power.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, with widespread displacement, while international criticism grows, though the U.S. continues to support Israel's actions.
