John Haltiwanger

Israel resumed large-scale airstrikes against Hamas on Tuesday, shattering a fragile cease-fire and dashing hopes for an end to a devastating war in Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and left the enclave in ruins. More than 400 people were killed by the Israeli strikes on Tuesday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that the strikes were conducted due to Hamas’s refusal to release hostages and its rejection of cease-fire extension proposals.
