Israel strikes Gaza again: At least 40 killed in overnight operations, say hospitals

Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip overnight have resulted in at least 58 Palestinian deaths, according to reports from medical sources. The strikes targeted multiple homes, leading to significant casualties, including many women and children. 

The recent escalation follows the breakdown of a ceasefire that had been in place since January. Israel attributes the renewed hostilities to Hamas's rejection of a new proposal that deviated from their prior agreement. 

The conflict, which began in October 2023, has had a devastating impact on Gaza, resulting in nearly 49,000 Palestinian deaths, significant displacement, and widespread destruction, complicating any hope for peace. 

In response to the escalating violence, French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman have condemned the resumption of Israeli strikes on Gaza and called for the return of a ceasefire to ensure the safety of civilians and the release of hostages. They also plan to co-chair a conference focusing on a two-state solution to revive political dialogue between Israelis and Palestin
