Israel Resumes Gaza Airstrikes Following Ceasefire Collapse

Over 400 Palestinians reported dead as Israel targets Hamas leaders, citing hostage crisis and failed mediation efforts.

The January 2025 ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has collapsed after disputes over its extension and terms.
Israeli airstrikes, the heaviest since the ceasefire, have killed over 400 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health authorities.
Israel's government states the strikes are a response to Hamas's refusal to release hostages or accept mediation proposals.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres and other international leaders have condemned the violence, calling for restraint and humanitarian access.
Criticism has emerged from former Israeli hostages and their families, who fear the renewed attacks endanger remaining captives.
