Israel Launches Airstrikes on Gaza After Accusing Hamas of Ceasefire Violation

Israel launched new airstrikes across Gaza after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of breaking a U.S.-brokered ceasefire by attacking Israeli forces and mishandling hostage remains.

“Recent strikes in Gaza have resulted in at least nine Palestinian deaths and additional injuries”

Israeli strikes killed Palestinians in Gaza City, Khan Younis, and near Al-Shifa Hospital as Israel said Hamas fired on troops in Rafah; Hamas denied responsibility.

Western and Asian outlets reported differing death tolls from Israel’s bombardment: at least 20 killed including children (CNN), at least 26 (The Straits Times), and additional strikes near Shifa and Sabra that killed more people (SABC News, NDTV).

A West Asian outlet reported Israel informed the U.S. before carrying out some strikes and counted at least 94 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire began, underscoring that Israel continued to kill Palestinians even under the truce (Al Jazeera).

Multiple outlets documented Israeli strikes killing civilians in and around medical and residential areas.

La República reported a missile near Al‑Shifa Hospital and a bombing in al‑Sabra that killed at least 30 civilians, including women and children.

Western outlets also described Israel killing Palestinians in the same areas.

The Independent counted dead in Sabra and Khan Younis and said Israel hit homes and Shifa.

The Honolulu Star‑Advertiser reported at least 21 killed in Gaza City.

20Minutos reported heavy Israeli bombings killing at least 15, including children, and injuring about 50.

These reports consistently identify the Israeli military as the actor killing Palestinian civilians during the ceasefire period.

Israel’s stated trigger for the bombardment is a dispute over hostages’ remains and an alleged attack on troops by Hamas.

Several outlets document conflicting claims about the remains.

CNN reports the IDF accused Hamas of staging a fake recovery with the Red Cross, which the Red Cross refuted.

PBS cites an AP analysis suggesting staging of Ofir Tzarfati’s remains.

BBC says the ICRC refutes Israeli claims of manipulation.

Haaretz says the Red Cross condemned Hamas for staging and the IDF released footage.

The Greek Herald notes Hamas handed over partial remains already recovered by Israel, which Israel called a ceasefire violation.

NHK details Israel’s demand for the return of the last 13 deceased hostages under the ceasefire terms.

Israeli leaders escalated both attacks and coercive policies while the U.S. publicly said the ceasefire was “generally holding.”

DW reports that Netanyahu is considering restricting aid and targeting Hamas leaders.

Israel National News

South China Morning Post and Newsweek detail Netanyahu ordering powerful strikes that killed civilians and disputes over staged discoveries.

Al Jazeera reports that Israel’s far-right cabinet is pushing for re-arrests and expanded actions.

Meanwhile, a UN Special Rapporteur labeled Gaza’s reality as genocide.

Sky News quotes Francesca Albanese describing Gaza’s conditions as “ongoing genocide.”

La República reports she condemned Israel for resuming attacks and raised genocide concerns.

Some outlets add that the U.S. was informed before the strikes, underscoring debates about complicity in coverage by mainstream and alternative press.

Hamas denies attacking Israeli forces and says Israel is using airstrikes and restrictions to sabotage the ceasefire and block recovery of hostage bodies.

“Palestinians in Gaza are enduring severe hardships caused by blockades, food shortages, and limited medical aid amid ongoing humanitarian efforts”

Al Jazeera reports Hamas condemned the Israeli attacks as ceasefire violations and reaffirmed commitment to the agreement.

The Mirror

PressTV says Hamas denied violations and said Israeli airstrikes killed at least 20 and injured over 50.

20Minutos says Hamas denied responsibility for the claimed Rafah attack and called Israel’s bombings a breach.

BreakingNews.ie also reports Hamas denial after Israeli strikes.

KSL adds Hamas postponed a body handover, blaming Israeli violations, while insisting it is complying.

These accounts directly attribute Palestinian deaths to Israeli strikes and portray Hamas as publicly rejecting Israel’s accusations during the ceasefire.
