Hamas has accepted responsibility for the firing of rockets toward Israel on Thursday, marking the initial retaliation for what it terms as violations of a ceasefire by the Israeli side, which has resulted in the deaths of over 710 individuals in the last three days. The attack followed a renewed Israeli military incursion into Beit Lahia and the perceived inadequacy of international efforts to temper Israeli aggression, as per reports. The strikes perpetrated by Israel, which resumed assaults across Gaza and shattered a ceasefire agreement, led to the homicide of at least 58 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip overnight and into Thursday, according to the Associated Press citing hospital sources. Most of the casualties were reportedly women and children. Israeli authorities interjected that they had successfully intercepted a missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, a group supported by Iran, ahead of it entering Israeli airspace. The military action by Israel in the region continues to intensify. The Fox News article includes further details on the standoff, statements by political figures, and offers a view of Senator John Fetterman’s stance in support of Israel.
