Over 330 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes across Gaza

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have resulted in at least 330 Palestinian deaths, marking the deadliest escalation since a ceasefire was established in January. The strikes, ordered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, targeted Hamas positions and were described as a preemptive offensive expected to continue indefinitely. The Israeli military stated that these operations would expand beyond air strikes if necessary. Health officials reported that many victims included children, with strikes occurring across multiple locations in Gaza. Hamas condemned the airstrikes as a violation of the ceasefire agreement, accusing Israel of escalating the conflict. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing military operations and potential diplomatic repercussions.
