Israeli attacks on Gaza break
Israel has attacked dozens of targets across the Gaza Strip. At least 200 people have been killed in a sudden Israeli airstrike early Tuesday. The attack came amid talks to extend the ceasefire in Gaza. Reuters and Al Jazeera reported. Palestinian health authorities said that attacks were reported in several places, including Gaza City, northern Gaza, Deir al-Balah, Khan Yunis and Rafah in the central and southern Gaza Strip.
Palestinian health ministry officials said that Israeli airstrikes hit dozens of targets in Gaza early Tuesday. At least 200 people were killed in these attacks. Most of the dead were children.
The Israeli army admitted that it had hit dozens of targets. At the same time, the Israeli army said that the attacks would continue for as long as necessary and that the airstrikes would be increased. In addition, Israeli ground forces could also resume fighting.

Israel agreed to a ceasefire on January 19 after 15 months of attacks. Talks are underway in Doha, Qatar, to extend the ceasefire. But Tuesday’s early morning attacks were far more intense than the drone strikes the Israeli military has carried out in Gaza in the past.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said its workers had recovered at least 86 bodies and taken 134 wounded to hospital. Sixteen members of the same family were killed in Rafah.
Bodies were seen piled up in hospitals, including Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, Al-Aqsa Hospital in the central Gaza Strip and Al-Ahl in Gaza City, covered in blood-stained white plastic sheets.
Hamas said Israel had violated the ceasefire agreement with the brutal attack, leaving the fate of 59 hostages held in Gaza uncertain.
