Gaza Conflict Escalates with Israeli Strikes

At least 50 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza on Tuesday night, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defence agency and hospitals. Israel carried out the strikes in response to what it said were violations by Hamas of the US-brokered ceasefire deal, including an attack that killed an Israeli soldier. Hamas denied any involvement in the attack and insisted it was committed to the ceasefire. The Israeli strikes hit homes, schools, and residential blocks in various areas of Gaza, resulting in significant casualties and damage. The US played down concerns of all-out hostilities resuming, with President Trump stating that Israel should 'hit back' when its soldiers were targeted.

At least 60 people, including dozens of children, were killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza, according to local hospital officials. The strikes were launched after an Israeli soldier was killed, which Israel blamed on Hamas. US President Donald Trump defended Israel's actions, saying they 'should hit back' if their soldiers were killed, but added that 'nothing's going to jeopardise' the ceasefire. The death toll rose to 81 as more bodies were received by hospitals, with many wounded in critical condition. The Israeli military said it had reinstated the ceasefire after carrying out strikes on militant targets.

Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed at least 60 people, including many children, in response to Hamas allegedly violating a ceasefire. The strikes were ordered by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after an Israeli official claimed its forces were fired upon in southern Gaza and Hamas handed over body parts of a hostage. The development poses a significant challenge to the fragile ceasefire deal in Gaza.
