Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday directed the country’s military to launch immediate and intensified airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.The directive came after Netanyahu accused Hamas of violating the US-brokered ceasefire that had temporarily halted weeks of hostilities.In a brief statement, the Prime Minister’s Office said Israel “will respond with full force to any aggression” and will not tolerate attacks on its citizens.The renewed strikes mark a sharp escalation in tensions, raising fears of another prolonged wave of violence in the region despite international efforts to restore calm.
