Despite a ceasefire, Israel's military intensifies strikes on Gaza, killing nine.
Israeli forces conducted recent strikes on Saturday, targeting presumed militants in Gaza, according to the Gaza health ministry. This tragic incident adds to a series of attacks that have occurred during a ceasefire that was expected to stabilize the region for two months. The Israeli military maintains that these operations are necessary to combat threats to its forces, which they claim involve militants laying explosives or utilizing drones.
Since the truce, Hamas has accused Israel of breaching the agreement by continuing military actions and reported that these attacks have resulted in over 150 casualties, many of whom are civilians. Ismail Thawabteh, the head of the Hamas-controlled media office, stated that the individuals killed in the recent strike were charity workers. However, details surrounding their identities and circumstances remain unverified.
The Israeli military justified its actions by stating that they targeted several operatives attempting to deploy drones and other explosive devices near Israeli troops. The ongoing conflicts raise pressing concerns about the effectiveness of the ceasefire and the underlying tensions in the region. Attempts to seek comment from Gaza health officials were met with silence as the situation remains volatile.
