Israeli strikes in Gaza kill at least 104 overnight as ceasefire looks increasingly fragile

Source: The Guardian

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza overnight killed at least 104 Palestinians, including children, in what appeared to be the gravest challenge yet to the increasingly fragile US-brokered ceasefire and the deadliest day since the truce began.

The strikes, one of the bloodiest attacks in the two-year war, killed at least 35 children and injured 200 people, according to Gaza’s civil defence agency. They took place hours after Donald Trump said nothing would jeopardise the ceasefire agreement he had helped broker.

The toll was confirmed by an Agence France-Presse (AFP) tally of reports from medical officials at five Gaza hospitals that received the dead and wounded.

Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the strikes on Tuesday evening after a firefight between Palestinian militants and Israeli troops, and amid growing anger over Hamas turning over body parts of a hostage whose remains Israeli troops had recovered two years before.

All those dead women and children are just "hiccups" but when an IDF soldier is allegedly fired at, that's a CLEAR violation.

Using dead hostages as justification for killing more Palestinians children.
Netanyahu is evil.

Then when they react to that, bomb civilians, hospitals, schools, and more. Meanwhile, evicting Palestinians and taking their houses and land. Also lie about it. Then, reject several cease fires, while still bombing and grabbing land. Then negotiate a cease fire, keep quiet for a few days until they find a reason to resume bombing and killing civilian
