Israel said Wednesday that it has begun “renewed enforcement of the cease-fire in response to Hamas’ violations,” a day after a series of airstrikes killed more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza, according to health officials.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the strikes, carried out Tuesday on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s orders, targeted Hamas commanders and sites the military described as “positions of ongoing threat.” Gaza’s Health Ministry said at least 104 people were killed, including 46 children, and 253 others were wounded.
According to the IDF, the operation “struck 30 terrorists holding command positions” following what it called “Hamas violations” of the cease-fire agreement.
Netanyahu on Tuesday had directed “forceful strikes” against Gaza, accusing Hamas of a “clear violation” of the truce. The escalation came after Israel said the remains of an Israeli hostage returned Tuesday by Hamas were not those of a person listed in the cease-fire deal. Netanyahu’s office said the body was that of Ofir Tzarfati, whose remains were previously recovered by Israeli forces in November 2023, with additional fragments found in March 2024.
