JERUSALEM/CAIRO, March 18 (Reuters) - The Israeli military said it hit targets across Gaza early on Tuesday, ending a weeks-long standoff over extending the ceasefire that halted fighting in January, with Palestinian health ministry officials reporting at least 100 dead.
Strikes were reported in multiple locations, including northern Gaza, Gaza City and the Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis and Rafah in central and southern Gaza Strip. Palestinian health ministry officials said many of the dead were children.

The military, which said it hit dozens of targets, said the strikes would continue for as long as necessary and would extend beyond air strikes.
The attacks were far wider in scale than the regular series of drone strikes the Israeli military has said it has conducted against individuals or small groups of suspected terrorists and follows weeks of failed efforts to agree an extension to the truce agreed on January 19.

Hamas said Israel had overturned the ceasefire agreement, leaving the fate of 59 hostages still held in Gaza uncertain.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office accused Hamas of "repeated refusal to release our hostages" and rejecting proposals from U.S. President Donald Trump's Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff.
"Israel will, from now on, act against Hamas with increasing military strength," it said in a statement.

In Washington, a White House spokesperson said Israel had consulted the U.S. istration before it carried out the strikes, which the military said targeted mid-level Hamas commanders and leadership officials as well as infrstructure belonging to the terror group.

Negotiating teams from Israel and Hamas had been in Doha as mediators from Egypt and Qatar sought to bridge the gap between the two sides following the end of an initial phase in the ceasefire, which saw 33 Israeli hostages and five Thais returned by militant groups in Gaza in exchange for some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

With the backing of the United States, Israel had been pressing for the return of the remaining 59 hostages still held in Gaza in exchange for a longer-term truce that would have halted fighting until after the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan and the Jewish over holiday in April.
However Hamas had been insisting on moving to negotiations for a permanent end to the war and a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, in accordance with the of the original ceasefire agreement.

"We demand that the mediators hold Netanyahu and the Zionist occupation fully responsible for violating and overturning the agreement," the group said.
Each side has accused the other of failing to respect the of the January ceasefire agreement, and there were multiple hiccups during the course of the first phase. But until now, a full return to the fighting had been avoided.

Israel had blocked deliveries of aid from entering Gaza and had threatened on numerous occasions to resume fighting if Hamas did not agree to return the hostages it still holds.
The army did not provide details about the strikes carried out in the early hours of Tuesday but Palestinian health authorities and witnesses ed by Reuters reported damage in numerous areas of Gaza, where hundreds of thousands are living in makeshift shelters or damaged buildings.

A building in Gaza City, in the northern end of the strip was hit and at least three houses were hit in Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza. In addition, the strikes hit targets in the southern cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, according to medics and witnesses.
Much of Gaza now lies in ruins after 15 months of fighting, which erupted on October 7, 2023 when thousands of Hamas-led gunmen attacked Israeli communities around the Gaza Strip, killing some 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies, and abducting 251 hostages into Gaza.
The Israeli campaign in response has killed more than 48,000 people, according to Palestinian health authorities, and destroyed much of the housing and infrastructure in the enclave, including the hospital system.

In the recent airstrikes(act of justice), several key architects of Hamas’ terror machine were eliminated in a precision airstrike. One of their dead operatives is pictured above.

As long as Hamas continues to spit in the face of Israel's mercy by refusing to honor the deal and release those hostages whom they cling to as their last desperate card, the response will only grow louder. At this very moment, the United States is unleashing its might against the Houthis, another evil in the Middle East.

There is no room for Islamic terrorists in this world. Watch closely as the so-called Palestinian Authority/Hamas, those masters of deceit, begin to fabricate stories of civilian casualties and parade images of dead children to deceive the world, all for their wicked propaganda.

how they paraded in uniform just weeks ago during the hostage release, yet now hide among their people in plain clothes, just like Sinwar who disguised in women clothings and hid under tunnels.
The eternal people, remain unbroken.
Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱!

Gaza should be emptied and used to build a US military base. The only language of peace in the Middle East is force.

By the way they should’ve immediately deported that Palestinian student on a green card who was organizing protests for Hamas. He has no business being in the US, and should have no business with US citizenship

Israel is a terrorist state.

They are committing genocide in Gaza and the world is watching.

May Allah accept their souls and welcome them in Al-Jannah Firdaous.

The only thing good for them is death and nothing else..

Islamabad....

We need PEACE ✌️🕊️ worldwide 🙏🙏.

Nice one

Ceasefire was already in place and Hamas was just playing games with the negotiation.

Peace pls

I don't really

I don't really think this Hamas people are smart enough. How do you continue to allow your people roasted just because you refused to release hostages? Who is advising them?

Food don ready for Israel meat gobblers

Kill them all, what is stoping them from releasing Israel hostages.
And this hamas everytime na children dey die for their land anytime attacked, that your method no work again

Israel will attack till thy Kingdom come!

Even if Jesus comes today they'll try and attack am!

Lol
Scripted nonsense


Pro Israel humans are just the worst

Why is Israel unable to locate hostages despite its advanced technology and intelligence capabilities?

Palestinians made the biggest mistake of their life in 1948. When everyone were rejecting the demonic Jews fleeing from holocaust in Europe, they welcome them with opened arms, ignoring Allah's warning that the jews are never to be trusted. Now their existence depends on which side of the bed Netanyahu wakes up.

Hamas statistics ( Health Bureau ) be like :
122 journalists
200 pregnant women
300 babies
44 Doctors have been genocide.
Everybody is a pregnant woman and journalist in Gaza but during their presentation of the Bibas family who were killed by these monsters , thousands of hamas terrorists were seen parading in full military camouflage.
Israel should not stress themselves , drop a MOAB and call it a day .

Isreal is an evil terrorist entity that seeks to terrorize innocent Palestinians in the hope that they will give up their land.
The criminal Benjamin Netyahu wanted by the ICC will one day stand trial for his many atrocities and crimes against innocent people of Palestine

Wipe them all out.

Israel is a terrorist nation.

When will there be absolute peace in the world.

Check my signatures for very clean Tokunbo Cars 🚘

Islamic idiots

Wipe them out

Death to all islamic terrorists and their sympathisers. Evil religion.

Humans killing humans because of one unseen god

Ok

Hamas started this nonsense

Middle East, land of chaos

Why can't the world have peace for 1 day? Just 1 day.


We need peace

Isreal has already reduced almost the entire gaza strip to rubble with bombs supplied mostly by Americans in months and months of relentless bombardment. The aim has been to empty gaza of Palestinians, but that failed woefully as Palestinians are not willing to forsake their homeland. This resumption of bombings by the zionists , again with American backing, will also fail as the Palestinians (Muslims and Christians) will rather be martyred in their ancestral land than flee cowardly to be refugees elsewhere. This indescribable carnage has continued for over 15 months and sadly isrealis are also counting their combatant casualties in thousands - infact, the numbers of ptsd cases is scary for a small country like isreal. Forget the propaganda, both sides need peace. Jaw-jaw is the way to go, not war-war.

Bullhari:
