Israeli Military Strikes Continue in Gaza Amid Ongoing Truce Tensions

Despite an established ceasefire with Hamas, Israeli airstrikes have taken a deadly toll in Gaza over the weekend.


Weekend Israeli airstrikes in Gaza raise questions about the sustainability of the current truce with Hamas, as casualty figures grow amidst continued military operations.

Israeli forces launched airstrikes in Gaza on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of at least nine Palestinians according to the Gaza health ministry. These strikes come despite a ceasefire that has been in effect for nearly two months, signaling escalating tensions in the region. The Israeli military has cited ongoing threats from militants, claiming they have been laying explosives and flying drones in proximity to Israeli troops.

Since the truce commenced in mid-January, allegations have surfaced regarding continuous Israeli military actions in the Gaza Strip. Hamas authorities report that more than 150 individuals, including civilians, have lost their lives due to these strikes since the agreement began. They accuse Israel of breaching the ceasefire conditions with their military operations.

In the latest military assertions, Israel stated they targeted two militants responsible for operating a drone deemed a threat. Additionally, a vehicle containing militants involved in retrieving drone equipment was also struck. The Israeli military has not provided further details on how these actions posed a risk to their forces.

On the ground, Ismail Thawabteh, the director-general of the Hamas-controlled media office in Gaza, has condemned the attacks, labeling the deceased Palestinians as charity workers. The Israeli military, meanwhile, mentioned the actions taken against three militants in central Gaza who were allegedly preparing to set explosive devices near Israeli soldiers. The Gaza health ministry has not responded to inquiries regarding these incidents, raising concerns regarding the complexities of the ongoing conflict and the implications for peace in the region.
