By Israel has restarted ground operations and airstrikes in Gaza, issuing a “last warning” for Hamas to release hostages and relinquish power. The renewed offensive follows a period of relative calm since mid-January, with Israeli attacks killing over 400 people in recent days, according to Gaza’s health ministry. The escalation has led to further displacement of civilians, with hospitals struggling to cope with casualties. Hamas remains open to negotiations but rejects changes to a previously agreed ceasefire framework. Meanwhile, protests in Israel demand the safe return of hostages. International concern is growing, with UN officials condemning strikes on humanitarian sites. The conflict, which began in October 2023, has now claimed over 48,570 lives in Gaza.
