Ceasefire Chaos: Airstrikes Shatter Fragile Peace in Gaza

The ceasefire in Gaza was disrupted by intense Israeli airstrikes, killing at least 81 people, including women and children. Tensions escalated as Israel accused Hamas of ceasefire violations, leading to more airstrikes. The situation drew reactions from global leaders, while hospitals strained under the growing casualties.

The fragile Gaza ceasefire was shattered as Israel launched intensive airstrikes that left at least 81 dead, among them women and children, according to local hospitals. The strikes marked the deadliest episode since the ceasefire's establishment on October 10th.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military action, accusing Hamas of violating the truce. In a retaliatory stance, Hamas delayed returning another hostage's body, further complicating the peace efforts. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump defended Israel's actions during his Asia visit, citing a reported killing of an Israeli soldier by Hamas.

Hospital officials highlight an overwhelming casualty count, with numerous critical cases stretching medical facilities to their limits. The international community watches as the situation poses significant challenges to maintaining the ceasefire.
