Israeli warplanes struck Gaza City, resulting in two fatalities and four injuries, following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s directive for intensified attacks. The escalation comes after Tel Aviv accused Hamas of orchestrating a search for the remains of Israeli captives, raising tensions in the region.
Background of the Airstrikes
The recent strikes mark another deadly chapter in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Netanyahu called for ‘powerful attacks’ after Israeli officials claimed Hamas was using the search for remains as a cover for further aggression. Air raid sirens and explosions echoed through Gaza City, causing panic among residents and worsening the humanitarian situation.
Growing Tensions in the Region
This incident follows a series of confrontations in the area, with both sides exchanging blame for the ongoing violence. Civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict, as strikes damage infrastructure and threaten lives daily. International organizations have called for restraint, but the situation remains volatile.
