Israel launched its deadliest strikes on Gaza since the January ceasefire, killing over 400 people, including Hamas official Essam al-Dalis. Gaza’s health ministry reported hospitals were “overwhelmed” with casualties. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hamas that “this is just the beginning” and vowed intensified military action. Hamas accused Israel of breaking ceasefire negotiations and urged international pressure to halt attacks. The White House said Israel consulted President Trump before the strikes and blamed Hamas for renewed violence. Talks collapsed over Israel’s demand for Gaza’s demilitarization. Rescuers continue to search for victims under the rubble.
