Gaza authorities report 100 deaths in a single day due to Israel's ongoing offensive, named Operation Gideon's Chariots, amid escalated military operations in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military launched Operation Gideon's Chariots, intensifying operations in Gaza with the goal of dismantling Hamas and securing the release of hostages still held in Gaza.
Since March 18, the Gaza health ministry reports 2,985 deaths, bringing the total toll to 53,119, amid ongoing conflict and a severe humanitarian crisis in the enclave.
The IDF stated the operation aims to achieve all war objectives, including defeating Hamas and releasing abducted individuals, with a likely push for broader territorial gains in Gaza.
International condemnation surges over the renewed offensive, with warnings of catastrophic shortages and potential forced displacement of Gaza's civilian population, amid a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation.
