The Israeli army broke the ceasefire unilaterally and initiated a new attack on Gaza. At least 330 people, including women and children, lost their lives in the attacks. Hamas used the statement, “Netanyahu and the government have resumed the war against vulnerable civilians in Gaza.” The White House stated that consultation had been made with the US and issued a threat that “The doomsday will come.”

The death toll in the heavy bombardment on the Gaza Strip has reached 330. According to the statement from the Gaza Health Ministry, hundreds of people were also reported injured. According to the information reported by the AFP news agency, Hamas sources announced that the general at the head of the Gaza Interior Ministry was killed during the Israeli attacks. Hamas official Izzet el-Rişk stated to AFP, “Netanyahu’s decision to restart the war is a decision to sacrifice hostages and impose death sentences on them.”

It was emphasized that the Israeli Prime Minister used the conflicts as a political “lifeline” to silence rising voices against the government. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz claimed in a statement that they restarted the attacks because Hamas refused to release Israeli hostages.

Katz used the expression, “If Hamas does not release all the hostages, the gates of hell will be opened in Gaza.” Threatening with intense bombardment, Katz reiterated that they would continue the attacks until they reach their goals. The White House announced that Israel consulted with Washington before the attack.

Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated to Fox News that US President Donald Trump is not afraid to support Israel. The spokesperson used the words, “Anyone who wants to terrorize not only Israel but the United States as well will pay the price. The doomsday will come.” The Israeli Prime Minister’s office announced that Prime Minister and Defense Minister instructed the army for a strong action against Hamas.

Israeli warplanes bombed a school where Palestinians took refuge in the ed-Derec neighborhood and 3 houses in the Tel el-Heva neighborhood. Israeli warplanes also targeted the Burec and Nusayrat Refugee Camps in the central parts of Gaza. Hamas announced that Netanyahu and the government resumed the war against vulnerable civilians in the Gaza Strip.

In a written statement by Hamas, it was stated that the Israeli government violated the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on January 19 and declared war on the Gaza Strip. The statement holds Netanyahu and Zionist Nazi occupiers responsible for the treacherous attacks against Gaza and defenseless Palestinian people. The Israeli army launched extensive airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

An announcement from the army reported that Hamas targets were hit. Israeli Army Spokesperson Avichay Adraee stated on the X account post, “In accordance with political directives, the Israeli army and the Shin Bet internal security organization have launched a wide-scale attack on Hamas-affiliated targets throughout the Gaza Strip.”
