Israel Airstrike: Israel attacks on Gaza again

In a shocking escalation, Israel launched fresh airstrikes on Gaza late Friday night, killing at least 81 civilians, including 66 children, according to health officials in Gaza. The strikes shattered a short-lived ceasefire agreement that had been signed on June 23.

The renewed assault targeted densely populated areas, including the Muwasi refugee camp and the vicinity of the Palestine Stadium in Gaza City. Residents reported intense shelling that continued through the early hours of Saturday, plunging the region back into a state of fear and chaos.

The Israeli government has defended its actions, stating that the military operation is aimed at eliminating Hamas, freeing hostages, and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel’s national security. However, the mounting civilian death toll has drawn sharp criticism from humanitarian organizations and international observers.

This latest strike comes shortly after Israel signed a separate ceasefire agreement with Iran, raising questions about its commitment to regional peace efforts. The breach of the truce with Gaza has intensified concerns over the escalating humanitarian crisis in the region.

Meanwhile, the role of the United States in the conflict is under scrutiny. With growing tensions and loss of life, diplomatic efforts led by U.S. President Donald Trump to mediate a ceasefire appear to have faltered. Observers say his administration has yet to present a viable roadmap for de-escalation. As the violence intensifies, the international community is calling for restraint and renewed peace talks. The resumption of hostilities in Gaza has once again underscored the fragile nature of peace in the Middle East.
