Israel’s military launched major airstrikes against Hamas targets in Gaza early Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the operation was a response to Hamas’ refusal to release Israeli hostages and its rejection of multiple ceasefire proposals.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed the strikes, saying they were part of a broader effort to achieve Israel’s war goals. The statement made it clear that the military would continue using “increasing strength” against Hamas until all hostages—both alive and dead—were returned.

The airstrikes killed at least 44 people, according to Gaza’s health ministry, which is run by Hamas. The extent of the damage is still being assessed.

Hamas Prepares for New Attacks

An Israeli official claimed that during the ceasefire, Hamas had been secretly preparing for more attacks. The group allegedly used the temporary truce to rearm and reposition its forces. To prevent Hamas from gaining an advantage, the IDF kept its operational plans highly classified, sharing them with only a small group of people. This secrecy helped them catch Hamas off guard.

Missed Opportunities for Peace

Pro-Israel groups argue that Hamas could have ended the war by releasing the hostages and accepting U.S.-backed proposals. Instead, the group chose to hold 59 people captive and continue fighting.

Former U.S. ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, expressed frustration over the failed peace efforts. He pointed out that Israel had previously agreed to release 30 to 100 Hamas prisoners for every Israeli hostage, but Hamas rejected the deal. He described the situation as Hamas missing its last chance for peace.

Marc Zell, head of Republicans Overseas Israel, revealed that Israeli ground forces were preparing for a possible deployment in Gaza. He confirmed that his own son had been called up for duty.

Increasing Pressure on Hamas

Israel's latest operation is seen as an effort to increase military pressure on Hamas. The strikes were also a signal that Israel will not accept the group’s demands or stall tactics.

The situation remains tense, with fears that the conflict could escalate further if ceasefire talks continue to fail.
