Gaza-Israel Conflict: The Ceasefire Shattered

As of March 18, 2025, Israel launched a massive wave of airstrikes across Gaza, killing over 400 Palestinians and ending a two-month ceasefire with Hamas. The attacks, the deadliest in months, followed stalled talks on hostage releases and a permanent truce. Israel claims it’s targeting Hamas, while Netanyahu vows to escalate until all captives are freed. Gaza’s health officials report widespread devastation, with hundreds fleeing amid a dire humanitarian crisis worsened by blocked aid.
