Israel strikes Gaza, killing over 400 as ceasefire breaks
- At least 404 people, including many children, have been killed in renewed Israeli attacks that have shattered a fragile ceasefire in Gaza. The Health Ministry’s toll is expected to rise as many victims remain under the rubble.
- Israel, which has enforced a total aid blockade on Gaza for more than two weeks, issues new forced displacement orders for several areas.
- As world reacts to the wave of attacks, Hamas says Israel carried out a “treacherous” attack on besieged and defenceless civilians in order to overturn the ceasefire deal.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he ordered the strikes because of a lack of progress in talks to extend the ceasefire.
- Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 48,577 Palestinians have been confirmed dead and 112,041 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. Gaza’s Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks and more than 200 were taken captive
