Ceasefire in Gaza Collapses as Israeli Airstrikes Result in Over 400 Palestinian Deaths
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that future peace negotiations "will only occur under fire." A Palestinian woman grieves as she identifies a body at Al-Ahli hospital after Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza City overnight.
Israeli airstrikes targeted Gaza, resulting in the deaths of over 400 individuals, according to Palestinian health officials. This marked the end of nearly two months of relative peace since a ceasefire was established. Israel has warned that this offensive is "just the beginning."
Both Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas have accused each other of violating the truce. The ceasefire, which had been in place since January, provided a brief period of relief for the 2.3 million residents of Gaza, an area already heavily devastated.
