Israel Launches Major Strikes in Gaza, Breaking Two-Month Cease-Fire
New military actions signal renewed conflict amid fragile negotiations.
Israel has carried out extensive military strikes in Gaza, the first major attack since the cease-fire with Hamas began roughly two months ago. Early Tuesday, Israeli Defense Forces confirmed via Telegram that they were targeting terror organization Hamas, indicating their operations commenced just before 2:30 a.m.
This renewed military action follows a series of smaller strikes since the cease-fire established in mid-January, which Hamas reports has resulted in over 150 casualties, including civilians. Hamas has accused Israel of failing to adhere to the terms of the truce, claiming ongoing military activity is in violation of the agreement.
Discussions aimed at solidifying the cease-fire, which was put in place after the initial conflict ignited with Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, are ongoing but have made little progress. Mediators from the United States, Qatar, and Egypt have struggled to navigate the deep-seated divisions between the two factions.
This story is still unfolding, and developments will continue to shape the complicated landscape of the conflict.
