The conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip has escalated once again, with the Israeli military launching “extensive strikes” in the region. According to the Hamas-run health ministry, more than 400 Palestinians have been killed in the strikes, making it the deadliest wave of attacks since the ceasefire in January.
The Israeli military stated that talks to extend the ceasefire had failed, leading to the decision to launch the strikes. Hamas has condemned the attacks as targeting “defenceless civilians”, and has called for mediators to hold Israel accountable for violating the ceasefire agreement.
In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced that Israel will increase its military strength against Hamas, accusing the group of refusing to release Israeli hostages and rejecting proposals to extend the ceasefire. Hamas has blamed the United States for the “massacres” in Gaza, claiming that Israel briefed the US on the strikes prior to carrying them out.
The situation in the region remains tense, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. The international community has called for an end to the violence and a return to dialogue to achieve a lasting peace in the region.

what kind of headline is that? seriously! BiBiC
And yet Hamas refuses to release the hostages. They don’t care about Gazan’s or even themselves. Pure evil incarnate. They blame the US for supporting Israel’s campaign to get the hostages back and remove Hamas. There will be no tree or rock they can hide behind.
Israel is evil.
Numbers don't cost money. Who even checks and confirms who died and how many were injured?This is data coming from Hamas = ISIS = Al Qaeda. What I did see was several videos with civilians bandaged on their heads without it appearing that they had a wound. And all this in front of the camera. The main thing is that the impact did its job, they are once again a victim. This "victim" is holding 59 Israelis in their tunnels.
What must all muslims in the world?
We must to defence Palestine 🇵🇸
BBCjazeera😂😂😂
I already knew Israel would send a lot of people to descend on the comment section of this video… but this is annoying. It’s not even like the rest of us can’t see what you’re doing. You’re getting desperate. The world sees you and no amount of internet comments will blind all of us.
Does anyone still doubt the evil intentions of Israel ?
They have never wanted peace and they shouldn't be trusted anymore by anyone.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
War criminal is always war criminal.
EU did zero to assist in innocent hostages being returned alive
Trump already said that the Hamas should release all the hostages, and if not; all hell will break loose. Trump is not Biden. Trump will do what he said.
Only 400
Israeli, usa terrorism at its top
And we believe the words of a terrorist organisation because?
Bbc creampie…😂😂😂😂
Hamas is a terror group and BBC supports it.
While death of civilians and their plight brings us to tears, the responsibility of each death is on Hamas. While the figure od dead cannot said to be correct the civilian count may be fifty percent for sure. These militants have no moral and no bravity to fight with soldiers, they put poor civilians in front. Now they say release of captives by next week, why ? Why not they released all in January itself or even prior to that? Their top leaders are dying, they could be alive today with milluon of civilian if they had trace of wisdom. Same is the case with Zelnski, a joker who let his people and country devastated but did not agree from just one term of Russia of not joining Nato. He will have to accept it in a humuliating circumstace, but after loosing so much.
Please , don't sob BBC @₹%%%#!
As for the Red Cross they didn’t give medical support to the hostages held in Gaza when it was supplied to them to do so,another pathetic outfit I refuse to support them!
Do you condemn Israel for breaking the ceasefire? Yet no Israeli or guest will be asked this
Where are the 400 bodies ??
😢
CHRISTIANS STAND WITH ISRAEL
Plenty of people in Gaza as well as Iran are happy to continue the war, but as usual the BBC only put one side of the argument, The BBC are bloody useless
Why don't you telecast anything about Syrian Christians?They are slaughtered by Jihadists.
Once again, Israel has broken the ceasefire, continuing its attacks on Gaza with no regard for peace or human rights. This repeated pattern of violations raises the question… when will the international community finally hold them accountable?
BBC is Hamas broadcasting corporation. Bullshit Broadcasting Corporation.
BBC quotes its favourite terror group for headlines.
I KNOW WHY YOU ALL PALESTINIANS DID NOT LEAVE GAZA BECAUSE HAMAS TOWED YOU ALL STAY SO HAMAS CAN HIDEOUT WITH ALL OF YOU PALESTINIANS.

Hamas always lying
Why is it all the other media outlets say over 300 killed but the Hamas supporters club at the BBC say over 400 killed and only based on what the Hamas terrorist group says
Hamas can give a death toll so fast? It is fake news and lies
