Israel Resumes Gaza Offensive as Hamas Retaliates with Rocket Fire on Tel Aviv

The collapse of a January ceasefire has led to renewed Israeli airstrikes, ground operations, and Hamas' first military response since the truce ended.

  • Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes and ground operations, with the Gaza Health Ministry reporting significant civilian casualties, including children.
  • Hamas launched rockets at Tel Aviv on March 20, marking its first military retaliation since the ceasefire's breakdown earlier this week.
  • Israel announced its goal to create a buffer zone dividing northern and southern Gaza, restricting civilian movement and intensifying displacement.
  • The ceasefire collapsed over unresolved negotiations on hostages and troop withdrawal, with both sides accusing each other of reneging on agreements.
  • International condemnation of the violence is growing, but the United States continues to support Israel's military actions.
