This action, defying a previous call for a ceasefire from US President Trump, represents a significant escalation of the conflict. Reports indicate significant damage to homes and infrastructure, including multiple civilian casualties. Military officials have stated the objectives are to disrupt Hamas’ operational capabilities and secure the area. The intensity of the strikes is raising concerns about the potential for further casualties and displacement within Gaza.
