CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Following a series of airstrikes on Gaza, Israel has stated that it had “no alternative” but to resume military operations in the region. The Israeli government cited security concerns, ongoing threats, and the need to neutralize hostile activities as reasons for the renewed strikes. Officials emphasized that the decision was taken to protect Israeli citizens and prevent further escalation.
The latest airstrikes targeted what Israel claims were Hamas-controlled sites, including suspected weapons storage facilities and militant bases. The escalation comes after weeks of rising tensions and cross-border attacks. Palestinian health officials have reported casualties, and humanitarian groups are raising concerns over the impact on civilians.
International reactions to Israel’s actions have been mixed. While some nations have reaffirmed Israel’s right to self-defense, others have urged for restraint and renewed diplomatic efforts to prevent further violence. The United Nations and global peace organizations have called for an immediate de-escalation to avoid a broader conflict.
Hamas has condemned the airstrikes, accusing Israel of aggression and vowing retaliation. Meanwhile, ceasefire negotiations brokered by international mediators remain uncertain, with both sides blaming each other for the breakdown in talks.
The renewed violence in Gaza underscores the deep-rooted conflict and the challenges in achieving long-term peace. As the situation unfolds, the international community continues to monitor developments closely, urging both parties to return to negotiations and prevent further civilian casualties.
