Israeli air strikes in Gaza killed at least 200 people, Palestinian health authorities said, as attacks hit dozens of targets early on Tuesday (March 18), ending a weeks-long standoff over extending a ceasefire that had halted fighting in January.
Strikes were reported in multiple locations, including northern Gaza, Gaza City and the Deir al-Balah, as well as Khan Younis and Rafah in central and southern Gaza Strip. Palestinian health ministry officials said many of the dead were children.
Footage showed casualties being evacuated to ambulances and bodies covered by blankets on the ground in Gaza City.
The Israeli military, which said it hit dozens of targets, said the strikes would continue for as long as necessary and would extend beyond air strikes, raising the prospect that Israeli ground troops could resume fighting.
Hamas said Israel had overturned the ceasefire agreement, leaving the fate of 59 hostages still held in Gaza uncertain.
