More than 200 Palestinians were killed in overnight Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, the Hamas-ruled enclave's Ministry of Health said, as Hamas accused Israel of violating a fragile ceasefire deal.

The death toll rose to more than 400, Gazan authorities said, marking one of the deadliest days since the war began. The attacks came after a breakdown in talks to release hostages.

After Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks, Israelis mobilized almost without reservation for war, and sacrifice. But the overnight airstrikes that killed hundreds in Gaza finds many Israelis exhausted by a long war and suspicious of their leaders’ motivations.
