Israel resumed combat operations in Gaza today after a seven-day truce with Hamas broke down.
The Israeli military began launching airstrikes on the region hours ago after accusing Hamas of firing toward Israel and violating the truce agreement — which allowed for the release of hostages.
Sirens warning of incoming rockets sounded in communities surrounding the Gaza Strip and the city of Ashkelon this morning as the fighting picked back up.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his deep regret about the strikes resuming in Gaza, calling it a "war on children." US Secretary of State Antony Blinken separately said Israel needs to make further efforts to protect civilians in Gaza as Israel resumes its military campaign
