Israel launched massive airstrikes on Gaza, killing at least 220 people, including women and children, during the holy month of Ramzan. Hamas official Izzat al-Rishq accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of "sacrificing" hostages by resuming war, calling it a "death sentence" for captives. The strikes shattered the fragile truce, raising doubts over ceasefire talks. Netanyahu faces criticism for allegedly using the war to distract from domestic issues. At least 59 hostages remain in Hamas custody after previous exchanges. Gaza’s civil defense condemned the attacks as humanitarian violations. The conflict continues with no resolution in sight.
