Part 3/9:
Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered these strikes late at night, disrupting ongoing hostage negotiations. Reports indicate that at least 16 people, including four senior Hamas figures, were killed in these airstrikes. Alarmingly, local officials have stated that over 100 children have lost their lives in the fighting—a loss that weighs heavily on the hearts of many in both Gaza and Israel.
Despite the death toll emerging from airstrikes, many analysts believe that Netanyahu intends to reinforce his power domestically rather than aiming for peace. Critics argue that he has consistently sidestepped talks that could lead to lasting resolutions, favoring military tactics over diplomacy.
