Israel Resumes Gaza Airstrikes, Killing Over 400 as Ceasefire Collapses

The strikes, ordered by Netanyahu after stalled hostage negotiations, mark the heaviest assault since January, worsening Gaza's humanitarian crisis and raising fears of broader conflict.

  • Israel launched its heaviest airstrikes on Gaza since January, killing over 400 people, including women and children, according to health officials.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited Hamas' refusal to release hostages and stalled ceasefire negotiations as reasons for resuming military operations.
  • The two-month ceasefire, part of a phased agreement mediated by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar, collapsed after disagreements over the release of hostages and Israeli troop withdrawal.
  • The renewed fighting has exacerbated Gaza's humanitarian crisis, with aid cut off, widespread destruction, and displacement of civilians.
  • The escalation risks regional instability, with concerns about potential impacts on ceasefires with Hezbollah and heightened tensions involving Iran and Yemen's Houthi rebels.
