Israeli
strikes have killed at least 58 people in Gaza overnight, local hospitals say
Hello and
welcome back to the Guardian’s live coverage of the war in Gaza and the wider
crisis in the Middle East.
Israeli
strikes have killed at least 58 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip overnight,
according to three hospitals.
The
Associated Press reports the strikes hit multiple homes in the middle of the
night, killing men, women and children as they slept.
Israel
resumed heavy strikes across Gaza on Tuesday, shattering a ceasefire that had
halted the war and facilitated the release of more than two dozen hostages.
Israel blamed the renewed fighting on Hamas because the militant group rejected
a new proposal that departed from their signed agreement.
More than
400 Palestinians were killed on Tuesday alone, mostly women and children,
according to Gaza’s health ministry.
These latest
strikes come a day after Israeli ground troops advanced in Gaza for the first
time since the ceasefire took hold in January, seizing part of a corridor
separating the northern third of the territory from the south.
Israel,
which has also cut off the supply of food, fuel and humanitarian aid to Gaza’s
roughly 2 million Palestinians, has vowed to intensify its operations until
Hamas releases the 59 hostages it holds — 35 of whom are believed dead — and
gives up control of the territory. The Trump administration, which took credit
for brokering the ceasefire, says it fully supports Israel.
