In the aftermath of a failed truce extension, Israel has recommenced airstrikes on Gaza, resulting in a grim toll of 178 Palestinians dead and 589 injured, according to Gaza's health ministry. The expiration of the cease-fire immediately led to intense bombardments, with Khan Younis experiencing the brunt of the onslaught, prompting a mass exodus of residents seeking safety.

The Israeli military has confirmed hitting over 200 targets in Gaza, with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant underscoring their commitment to achieving war objectives. Simultaneously, Israel has proposed establishing a buffer zone on the Palestinian side of Gaza's border to prevent future attacks, a plan communicated to various Arab states.

Internationally, the United Nations has expressed deep concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis, labeling the situation in Gaza as 'Hell on Earth.' Israel and Hamas blame each other for the breakdown in negotiations, while the U.S. singles out Hamas for not fulfilling commitments regarding the release of hostages.

The conflict's impact extends beyond Gaza, causing casualties in south Lebanon due to Israeli shelling. Hezbollah declares solidarity with the Palestinians, announcing attacks on Israeli military positions. Amidst the violence, Qatar persists in mediating and reinstating the truce, though renewed Israeli bombings complicate these efforts.
