Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed military strikes on Gaza, resulting in the reported deaths of at least 104 people, including 24 children. Netanyahu’s decision came after accusing Hamas of violating a ceasefire agreement by allegedly returning incorrect remains of a hostage. US President Donald Trump expressed confidence that the ceasefire remains intact and urged Hamas to act responsibly. The Gaza health ministry confirmed the death toll, with 100 Palestinians, including 35 children, reported killed. Trump defended Israel’s actions, emphasizing the need for retaliation following the killing of an Israeli soldier. The situation has escalated with both sides accusing each other of ceasefire breaches, raising concerns about maintaining peace. The conflict has attracted international attention, with efforts underway to salvage the fragile truce. Netanyahu’s move to authorize the strikes has sparked criticism and intensified the volatile situation in the region.
