Israeli airstrikes in Gaza led to the deaths of at least 60 individuals, including 22 children, according to local medical officials. This occurred following an Israeli-American hostage's release, part of a ceasefire effort. Israel, however, indicated its military would continue operations against Hamas, emphasizing an unwavering fight despite potential deals for more hostages. The ongoing Israel-Hamas war, initiated by a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, has resulted in significant casualties, with over 50,000 Palestinians reported dead, per Gaza's health ministry, provoking international concern over the humanitarian impact.
At least 60 people, including 22 children, were killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza overnight between Tuesday and early Wednesday, according to medical officials at local hospitals in the Strip.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the IDF would continue operations in Gaza "with full force" in the coming days and warned there was "no way" Israel would halt its war on Hamas.
The release was part of efforts to re-establish a ceasefire, reopen crossings into the Israeli-blockaded territory and resume delivery of aid.
The Israel-Hamas war began when Hamas militants attacked southern Israel on 7 October 2023, killing around 1,200 people, most of them civilians.
