Israel has blocked the main route, Salah al-Din Street, which serves as the primary passage for movement from northern to southern Gaza. This action is a violation of the latest ceasefire agreement. Hamas has condemned the move, stating that it has completely derailed the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement, further tightening the blockade on Gaza and worsening the humanitarian crisis. According to AFP, Israeli airstrikes in war-torn Gaza have claimed the lives of 970 Palestinians in the past 48 hours.

Hamas has called for large-scale protests and blockades in front of Israeli and US embassies worldwide. In a statement on Tuesday, the group accused the “occupying fascist government” of committing another round of brutal aggression and genocide in Gaza, violating humanitarian principles and religious laws. The statement emphasized that the blockade aims to exert maximum pressure on Tel Aviv and Washington to halt the ongoing assault on the people of Gaza.

Israeli forces launched intense airstrikes across Gaza overnight and into the early morning, killing at least 27 Palestinians. Gaza’s Health Ministry reported on Wednesday that Israel’s ongoing assault has so far resulted in 48,577 Palestinian deaths and 112,041 injuries.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s government media updated the total death toll to over 61,700, stating that thousands of missing individuals buried under the rubble are presumed dead. On Tuesday, Israel violated the ceasefire in Gaza, killing 404 people in a single day.

Israel has resumed its brutal military offensive in Gaza, killing over 400 Palestinians despite the previous ceasefire. UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed his outrage over the renewed violence. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Guterres urged all parties to respect the ceasefire, ensure uninterrupted humanitarian aid, and unconditionally release the remaining hostages. Governments worldwide, along with numerous humanitarian organizations, have condemned Israel’s fresh wave of bombings in Gaza.

Hamas spokesperson Osama Hamdan warned that if Israel believes it can manipulate the ceasefire agreement by escalating military operations, it is mistaken. He stated that Hamas has abided by the agreed-upon truce, but Israel has breached it following consultations with US officials. Hamdan further accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of suffering from ‘megalomania’ and using the war to escape corruption charges. The latest attacks in Gaza have resulted in 404 casualties.

Isam Da’alas, the ‘de-facto Prime Minister’ of Gaza, was killed in an Israeli airstrike, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Tuesday. Hamas also confirmed his death. Additionally, the attack claimed the lives of Justice Ministry Director General Ahmed Al-Khatta, Gaza’s Interior Ministry head Mahmoud Abu Watfa, and Hamas’ Internal Security Chief Bahjat Abu Sultan.

Israel has launched intense airstrikes on Gaza, with Hamas’ Health Ministry reporting at least 330 Palestinian deaths. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claim to be targeting “terror-related sites” under Hamas’ control. Among those killed is Gaza’s Deputy Interior Minister and senior Hamas security official, Mahmoud Abu Wafa. Witnesses say the strikes occurred during Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) in the holy month of Ramadan, catching many by surprise as explosions rocked the city.

Despite a declared ceasefire, Israel has launched intense airstrikes on Gaza during the holy month of Ramadan, killing at least 342 Palestinians, most of whom are children. The assault, allegedly encouraged by former U.S. President Donald Trump, did not spare even pregnant women. This is Israel’s largest attack on Gaza since the ceasefire agreement with Hamas on January 19. The Israeli ambassador stated that they would show no mercy to their enemies and would not stop until all hostages were returned. Hamas accused Israel of unilaterally breaking the ceasefire agreement. Protesters from Arab and Muslim nations, along with human rights activists worldwide, have called for demonstrations against the attacks.

Israel has resumed heavy airstrikes across the blockaded Gaza Strip, with the death toll rising to 170. Among the casualties, 78 people were killed in the southern region of the strip, while over a hundred others were injured.

In Gaza City alone, at least 20 people lost their lives, and more than 50 others sustained injuries due to Israeli air raids. The escalation comes after negotiations failed, according to a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.

Due to Israel’s blockade, one million children in Gaza are experiencing extreme hunger, according to UNICEF. The organization reported that thousands are deprived of clean water and basic sanitation. “Immediate access to water and electricity is necessary to save children’s lives,” said UNICEF Regional Director Eduardo Beigbeder from Deir al-Balah. He emphasized that water is a fundamental human right and should not be denied. While UNICEF and its partners are striving to provide aid, Beigbeder warned that unless the blockade is lifted or a lasting ceasefire is established, the crisis will continue to worsen.

At least 14 Palestinians were killed in fresh Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, with many others injured. Despite ongoing ceasefire negotiations, Israel continues to attack Gaza almost daily. Additionally, 15 more bodies were recovered from the rubble. Gaza’s health ministry reported that the death toll has now surpassed 48,570 in the besieged region.

The United States and Israel have reportedly initiated talks with the governments of Sudan, Somalia, and Somaliland about forcibly displacing Palestinians. In February, former US President Donald Trump announced a plan to ‘occupy’ Gaza and transform it into the ‘Riviera of the Middle East,’ with Palestinians being expelled from the region. Egypt, however, has rejected this plan and proposed a $53 billion alternative reconstruction initiative for Gaza, which has been backed by Arab leaders.

At least nine people were killed and several others injured in an Israeli airstrike on Beit Lahia, Gaza. The Gaza Health Ministry reported on Saturday that critically injured victims were transported to the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza. The Israeli military stated that their attack targeted two Palestinians who allegedly launched a drone posing a threat to Israeli forces. Later, additional Palestinians gathered drone equipment and entered a vehicle, which was then struck. CNN reported that this is the deadliest attack since the first phase of the ceasefire took effect in January.

Despite the ceasefire, Israel continues its attacks on Gaza, killing at least 98 Palestinians so far. In the latest airstrike on Gaza City, four Palestinians lost their lives. Meanwhile, Hamas has accused Netanyahu of being afraid to implement the ceasefire successfully, stating that his blockade is causing Israeli residents and prisoners to suffer from starvation. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israeli attacks have killed a total of 48,525 Palestinians and injured over 100,000 since the war began.

Donald Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, issued a statement saying Hamas is making a grave miscalculation by assuming time is on its side. He warned that if the deadline passes without action, the US and its allies will respond accordingly. Trump has already pledged that Hamas will face ‘severe consequences’ if it fails to release hostages. The US has made it clear that Hamas must immediately release dual US-Israeli citizen Aidan Alexander as part of a temporary ceasefire agreement. However, Hamas continues to insist on a permanent ceasefire deal.
