The Israeli Air Force has launched major attacks in Gaza. This is the biggest attack since the ceasefire began on 17 January. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, about 200 people have been killed in air strikes by Israel this morning. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said that Israel has resumed military operations against Hamas in Gaza after Hamas rejected the American proposal to increase the ceasefire.
The biggest attack during the ceasefire
Since the ceasefire came into force in January, it is said to be the most serious attack in Gaza. Many children have also lost their lives in rocket attacks. After the air strike, the Israeli army also said that its military campaign will continue in Gaza besides air strikes. Israel said that this is the biggest attack in the region since the ceasefire was implemented in January.
Peace disturbed by night attacks
On the other hand, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he ordered the attack because there was no significant progress in the talks to increase the ceasefire. Netanyahu’s office said, “Israel will now take action against Hamas by increasing military force.” The Israeli army said it would continue to kill Hamas commanders in Gaza and also target their terrorist bases. The army said that the attacks will continue as long as the need is needed and the campaign will be carried forward with air strikes.
What does Hamas say?
Hamas issued a statement saying that the Israeli attack is condemnable and the future of hostages is in danger due to these attacks. It is worth noting that Hamas has taken around 24 Israelies hostage. However, now there is doubt whether they are alive or not. Hamas has warned that the new Israeli attack has violated the ceasefire between them. At the same time, he also said in a threatening tone that Israel has put the fate of the hostages in danger. It is worth noting that Israel has said that it launched an air attack on the Gaza Strip on seeing no progress in the ongoing talks to increase the ceasefire.
