Israel conducted lethal airstrikes in Gaza for the second consecutive day on Saturday, resuming hostilities after a week-long truce with Hamas collapsed, despite international calls for an extension.
Grey smoke filled the skies over Gaza as the health ministry reported nearly 200 casualties since the ceasefire ended. Both sides accused each other of breaking the truce, with Israel claiming Hamas attempted a rocket launch before it expired.
The conflict prompted condemnation from international leaders, humanitarian groups, and fears of a wider regional escalation. The United States expressed efforts to work with regional partners for a new ceasefire.
