- Story Text:The Israeli army carried out pre-emptive strikes on Hamas and has different plans for different scenarios, Israeli military spokesman Nadav Shoshani said on Wednesday (March 19).
Shoshani made the comments as Israel forces resumed military operations in the central and southern Gaza Strip, as a second day of airstrikes killed at least 20 Palestinians, according to local health workers.
Gaza health officials said a deadly series of strikes on Tuesday (March 18) killed more than 400 people.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the strikes on Hamas to push the militant group to release all of the 59 remaining hostages.
The fighting ended weeks of relative calm since a ceasefire in January largely paused the war between Israeli forces and Hamas and other militants. Israel said the onslaught was "just the beginning."
