Israel Launches Renewed Attacks on Hamas in Gaza
(Wall Street Journal) Feliz Solomon - Israel launched a series of attacks against Hamas targets across Gaza early Tuesday after Hamas failed to release the hostages or accept U.S. proposals for extending the ceasefire. Israel said the strikes were aimed at dozens of targets among Hamas's leadership, midrank military commanders and infrastructure. Israel said the effort would expand beyond airstrikes. "From now on, Israel will act against Hamas with increasing military force," the prime minister's office said. President Trump gave Israel the green light to restart attacks on Hamas after the U.S.-designated terrorist group failed to give up hostages, an Israeli official said. "Hamas could have released hostages to extend the ceasefire but instead chose refusal and war," U.S. National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said.
