Gazan journalist Hossam Shabat posted on X: "It’s 3 AM local time in Gaza, and there are more than 100 bombings across the strip. We have all woken up because it feels like a strong earthquake. The Israeli government has decided to resume this genocide and break the ceasefire."
According to The Wall Street Journal, US President Donald Trump gave the green light to Israel to carry out the latest attacks on the Strip after Hamas refused to accept US-backed proposals to extend the truce.
