Israel Intensifies Gaza Airstrikes as Ceasefire Collapses

The renewed military campaign follows stalled hostage negotiations and Hamas's rejection of mediation proposals, with over 121 reported dead in Gaza.

Israeli forces launched their most extensive airstrikes on Gaza since the January ceasefire, targeting Hamas infrastructure and leadership.
The strikes were ordered after Hamas refused to release hostages and rejected proposals from U.S. mediators, according to Israeli officials.
Palestinian health authorities report at least 121 deaths, including women and children, with over 150 injured in the attacks.
Hamas accused Israel of unilaterally overturning the ceasefire, leaving the fate of 59 remaining hostages uncertain.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has worsened, with aid blockades and widespread destruction exacerbating conditions for displaced residents.
