Israel’s PM Netanyahu orders ‘powerful’ attacks on Gaza

Al Jazera update
   

ISRAELI Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to carry out “powerful” attacks in Gaza, his office says.

It comes after Netanyahu says Hamas committed a “clear violation” of the ceasefire deal. For its part, Gaza’s Government Media Office accuses Israel of committing 125 violations of the ceasefire since it came into effect on October 10, including killing 94 Palestinians.

The sound of explosions and drones continues across Gaza despite the ceasefire: “It’s just a constant reminder of how fragile this ceasefire is,” Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza City.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 68,527 people and wounded 170,395 since it began in October 2023.

A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led attacks and about 200 taken captive.
