Israel, which started airstrikes on Gaza Strip in defiance of the ceasefire agreement, has also started ground attacks since Thursday. At least 85 Palestinians were killed in airstrikes by Israeli forces in Gaza on Wednesday night and early Thursday, the Hamas-run health ministry said.

According to the BBC, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have stepped up attacks on Khan Younis and Rafah towns in southern Gaza and the northern town of Beit Lahiya. Hamas fired three missiles at Israel, the IDF said. But the IDF said that the missiles were neutralized before they entered Israeli territory. 

More than 430 Palestinians lost their lives in the attacks carried out by IFD last Monday and Tuesday. More than 100 children and women are among those killed. More than 660 people were injured in that attack. 

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched more attacks after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the resumption of fighting in the Palestinian territories. Netanyahu said he would "fight with full force" against Hamas. He says that the latest attack is 'just the beginning'. 

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has warned that the Palestinian group Hamas will completely destroy the Gaza Strip if the remaining hostages are not released. CBS News reported that Katz had no intention of harming the residents of Gaza, but warned that there would be no compromise on the release of the hostages.

"To the people of Gaza, this is a final warning," he said in a video, "If all Israeli hostages are not released and Hamas is not removed from Gaza, Israel will use force like you have never done before." Take the advice of the US President. "Return the hostages and remove Hamas," he said, adding that other options would open up for Gazans.

The attacks over the past three days are the worst since the ceasefire agreement between the two sides took effect on January 19. The agreement states that the ceasefire will be implemented in three phases. During the first phase of the ceasefire, the second phase was supposed to be negotiated. But the war broke out again because the talks could not be held. 

The proposed second phase calls for Israel to withdraw troops from Gaza. But Israel and the US insisted on extending the duration of the first phase. Their offer was to release the remaining hostages in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners during that period. 

But after Hamas did not agree, the war broke out again. Netanyahu said the fight for the return of the remaining hostages had to be restarted. But the hostages' families have criticized Netanyahu's decision. They say that the government has neglected their loved ones. 

Netanyahu has warned that Israel's offensive against Hamas in Gaza is just the beginning. Netanyahu claims that he had to start the attack again after Hamas rejected all offers for the release of the Israeli hostages. He also stated that the attack on Hamas was launched in coordination with the US President Trump administration. 

But Hamas claims that Israel unilaterally violated the ceasefire. Hamas is demanding that mediators the US, Egypt and Qatar hold Israel fully responsible for ceasefire violations. While Egypt condemned the Israeli attack, other mediators remained silent. As a result of which the Israeli army intensified the attack, the release of the remaining hostages, including the Nepali youth Vipin, has become more uncertain. 

Gaza's Palestinian armed group Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and war broke out between the two sides. 1200 people lost their lives in that attack and 251 people were taken hostage by Hamas. 4 Israelis were already under the control of Hamas. 

With the September 7 attack, Israel launched a massive assault on the Gaza Strip targeting Hamas. About 49,000 Palestinians have lost their lives in those attacks. More than 100,000 have been injured. About 1,400 people have died on the Israeli side. More than 60 percent of Gaza's structures have been destroyed, and more than two million residents have been displaced.

During the temporary ceasefire and prisoner exchange, Hamas has released 139 prisoners and handed over 8 bodies. In addition to freeing 8 prisoners, 41 dead bodies have been recovered in the operation carried out by the Israeli army.
