The Israeli military has intensified its air and ground campaign in Gaza, striking over 430 locations since March 18, according to official statements. The renewed offensive marks the end of a two-month ceasefire, with the military claiming all targets were terror-related. Gaza’s health authorities reports approximately 830 fatalities since the resumption of hostilities, with no Israeli fatalities have been reported during this period. The overall death toll in Gaza since Israel began its onslaught on October 7, 2023, following a Hamas attack that killed about 1,200 people, has surpassed 50,000. Israel continued attacks also in Syria and Lebanon.

In Lebanon, Israel struck more than 40 Hezbollah terrorist targets on Saturday, calling the attack a response to rocket fire from Lebanon toward the Galilee. Israel carried out dozens of additional strikes in Lebanon, despite a fragile ceasefire that came into effect in November. Meanwhile, 14 missiles were intercepted by the Israeli aerial defence systems since Israel effectively ended the Gaza truce last Tuesday. The military said it included six surface-to-surface missiles fired from Yemen, three rockets from Lebanon, and five from the Gaza Strip.
