322 Palestinians Killed, Missing as Israel Resumes Airstrikes in Gaza

Israel has resumed its military operations in Gaza, launching extensive airstrikes, artillery, and naval attacks resulting in over 322 Palestinians killed or missing within just five hours. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the escalation is a response to stalled ceasefire negotiations with Hamas, which has led to significant disagreements over the terms set by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. Local authorities in Gaza reported that entire families were among the casualties, highlighting the humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the ongoing siege and closure of crossings. The Hamas group accused Israel of declaring war by breaking the ceasefire, demanding accountability from international mediators. As Israeli attacks continue, the death toll since October has surpassed 48,500, with a majority being women and children, prompting calls for urgent international intervention to halt the violence.
