  • Resumen

  • We bring you an urgent update on the latest dramatic developments in the Gaza Strip. The truce between Israel and Hamas, in effect since January 19, abruptly ended overnight between Monday and Tuesday with a massive wave of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza.Reasons for the Resumption of Fighting* The Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, announced the launch of Operation "Force and Sword" in response to Hamas's "repeated refusal to release our hostages" and its rejection of all proposals advanced by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and other mediators.* Israel also claims to have identified Hamas preparations for new attacks, with ongoing reorganization and rearmament. There are fears of another large-scale assault similar to the events of October 7, with Hamas reportedly commanding around 25,000 armed fighters.* Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that if Hamas does not release all hostages, "the gates of hell will open", and the group will face an unprecedented military response.The Dire Situation in Gaza* Israeli airstrikes have been described as "extensive," targeting "Hamas terrorist objectives" across Gaza.* The death toll is devastating: Gaza’s Health Ministry reports hundreds of casualties, including a high number of women and children. UNICEF has stated that over 130 children were killed in a single day, marking the deadliest day in over a year.* Reports from within Gaza describe hospitals overwhelmed with wounded and deceased, with limited access to medical care and shelter.* The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have ordered evacuations of areas bordering Gaza, but residents say nowhere in the Strip is truly safe.Hamas’s Response* Hamas has accused Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu of "choosing to resume war" and abandoning the possibility of securing the remaining hostages’ release.* A Hamas spokesperson stated that the group "is working with mediators to halt Israel’s aggression" and that they had accepted the ceasefire deal—accusing Israel of violating it. Hamas insists it did not reject the proposal by Witkoff.International Reactions* Many countries and international organizations have expressed grave concern and condemnation over the renewed hostilities and the high civilian death toll.* UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said he was "horrified by the Israeli airstrikes and bombings."* The European Union has voiced outrage at the resumption of bombings, urging Hamas to release hostages and Israel to exercise restraint.* Russia has described Israel’s attack as an "escalation into an uncontrollable spiral of violence."* Turkey declared that Israel’s raids prove "Netanyahu’s government has entered a new phase of genocide."* Iran condemned the airstrikes, calling them a "continuation of genocide and ethnic cleansing", and accused the United States of direct responsibility.* Yemen’s Houthi rebels have also condemned the raids and announced an escalation of their Red Sea attacks in solidarity with Palestine.Internal Reactions in Israel* Thousands protested in Tel Aviv against Netanyahu’s decision to resume fighting and his dismissal of the Shin Bet chief.* The Hostage Families Forum expressed rage and terror, accusing the government of "giving up on the hostages" and demanding an end to the conflict.* The far-right Otzma Yehudit party, led by Itamar Ben Gvir, welcomed the renewed offensive and announced its return to Netanyahu’s coalition government.The Role of the United States* The White House confirmed that Israel consulted the Trump administration before launching the new wave of airstrikes.* National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes stated, "Hamas could have extended the ceasefire by releasing hostages, but instead chose rejection and war."* Trump’s campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt reaffirmed that "anyone who seeks to terrorize Israel and the United States will pay the price—hell will be unleashed."The situation remains highly volatile and tense. We will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as they unfold.Sources:Global News, ABC News, The Guardian, France24, Al Jazeera, South China Morning Post, New York Times, CBN, AXIOS, Salon.com, El Pais, Haaretz, ANSA, Fanpage, The Economist, MSNBC, Affari Italiani, Adnkronos, Blitzquotidiano, Corriere della Sera, Formiche, Il Fatto Quotidiano, Il Foglio, Il Giornale, Il Sole 24 Ore, Internazionale, Panorama, Il Post, Huffington Post, l'Unità, Open.
