Just a couple hours into Israel’s renewed bombing campaign in Gaza, and with the ceasefire definitely over (and likely not coming back), and Gaza health authorities have said the death toll has already surpassed 200 people killed.
“The Gaza Government Media Office reports that more than 200 people have been killed in the Israeli bombing of multiple areas across the Strip in the early hours of the morning,” and some more of the latest via Al Jazeera:
- Children are among the many killed and many wounded in Israeli air attacks across the Gaza Strip, the largest strikes since the ceasefire with Hamas started on January 19.
- United States Lieutenant General Alexus Grynkewich says US strikes on Yemen have killed dozens of Houthi fighters. The UN children’s agency, UNICEF, says at least two children, aged six and eight, are among the dead.
- Thousands of people have rallied in Yemen’s Sanaa in support of the Houthis who have vowed to respond to the US attacks as US President Donald Trump says Iran will “suffer the consequences” if they do.
- The Houthis say their attacks on US and Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea are in solidarity with the people of Gaza, where Israel’s blockade has now reached a sixteenth day.
- Meanwhile, Israeli attacks have killed three people in Syria and two people in southern Lebanon.
