Israel has launched new deadly airstrikes on various parts of the Palestinian Gaza Strip. After the second round of ceasefire talks collapsed, the Zionist forces began a rampage in the besieged valley. As of the time of writing, more than 300 Palestinians have lost their lives. Many of them are women and children. Many more have been injured. It is feared that the death toll may rise.
This is the largest Israeli attack since the ceasefire with the Palestinian independence movement Hamas began on January 19.
Qatar-based media outlet Al-Jazeera, citing sources, claimed that at least 308 people had been killed in this new attack as of writing. Of these, 154 were killed in northern Gaza alone.
Immediately after the attack, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced the resumption of the war in Gaza. It said that the operation was being carried out with the aim of pressuring Hamas to release the hostages.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas crossed the Israeli border and launched a surprise attack. At that time, 1,139 people were killed. In addition, more than two hundred people were taken hostage. Israel then launched a counterattack on Gaza.
In the name of the operation, Israeli forces have carried out one destruction after another in Gaza. There is no place where Israel has not attacked. Most of the structures in this besieged valley, including schools, hospitals, mosques and residential buildings, have been reduced to rubble by the Israeli attack.
The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that at least 48,577 Palestinians have been killed there as of the time of writing the report. In addition, another 112,700 people have been injured.
However, the Gaza government media office said that more than 61,700 people have lost their lives there. It is also believed that thousands of Palestinians who went missing there are no longer alive.
Meanwhile, Israel has claimed that these attacks were carried out targeting top Hamas leaders. According to a report by the Israeli media outlet Kan, the Israeli military alleged that Hamas fighters were preparing to carry out another attack.
