Israeli airstrikes killed 85 people in Gaza on Thursday. The total death toll has now risen to 592 since Israel broke the ceasefire on Tuesday. Hamas fired rockets at Israel, but no casualties were reported. Israel has restored its blockade on northern Gaza and warned residents not to use the main highway. A new ground operation has begun in the north, near Beit Lahiya. The conflict started on October 7, 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, killing nearly 1,200 people. Israel says Hamas rejected a new peace proposal, leading to the renewed violence.
