Israeli airstrikes on Thursday killed at least 70 Palestinians, with the total death toll since Tuesday rising to 510, according to Gaza health officials. The Israeli military has expanded ground operations, targeting Hamas leaders and infrastructure. Israel also announced it will block Palestinian movement from southern Gaza to the north. Hamas condemned the actions as a violation of the ceasefire, urging mediators to intervene. Meanwhile, international condemnation has grown amid rising civilian casualties. The conflict, which began in October 2023, has now claimed over 49,000 Palestinian lives. No breakthrough in peace negotiations has been reported.
