Israel Launches Major Airstrikes in Gaza, Ending Two-Month Ceasefire

The Israeli government cites Hamas's refusal to release hostages and rejection of negotiation proposals as reasons for resuming military operations.

Israeli airstrikes targeted Hamas positions in Gaza, with reports of significant casualties, including numerous civilians and children.
The Israeli government announced plans to escalate military actions until all hostages are freed and its objectives are achieved.
Hamas accused Israel of unilaterally breaking the ceasefire agreement, claiming it jeopardizes the safety of hostages.
The United States was informed in advance of Israel's decision to resume military operations, according to a White House spokesperson.
Efforts to extend the ceasefire had failed due to disagreements over terms, including the exchange of hostages and prisoners.
