Israel launched a massive bombing campaign in Gaza, resulting in over 400 deaths, the deadliest day since a cease-fire began two months ago. Hamas did not launch a counterattack, with officials stating they hope to restore the cease-fire. Israel’s previous war against Hamas weakened the group, but they remain capable and willing to fight. The lack of response to Israeli bombings could indicate preparations for a potential ground invasion. The Israeli military attacked Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, claiming pre-emptive strikes were necessary. Despite unsuccessful negotiations, Hamas refuses to surrender or dissolve its military wing. Israel demands the dismantling of Hamas’s military wing for the war to end permanently. Hamas has displayed its power through theatrical ceremonies for the handover of hostages. Analysts suggest Hamas is assessing Israel’s intentions before deciding on a response. The situation remains tense as both sides stand firm in their positions. The international community closely watches the region for any escalation in violence.
