Israel resumed heavy airstrikes on Gaza, killing at least 13 people overnight, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to fight "in full force." Strikes hit Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Hamas-controlled sites. The UN warned of escalating civilian casualties, with food and medicine blocked at borders. Egypt condemned the attacks as a ceasefire violation. Hamas confirmed leaders were killed, while Israel insists hostages remain its priority. Talks on a truce continue under fire. The Hamas-run health ministry reports over 48,500 Palestinians dead since October 7.
