Israel says more attacks to come as air strikes kill over 400 in Gaza

By Desmond Nleya
At least 14 Palestinians were killed in overnight Israeli attacks on southern Gaza’s Khan Younis and Rafah, Al Jazeera correspondents report.
UN chief Antonio Guterres says he is “outraged by the Israeli air strikes in Gaza”, joining a chorus of international condemnation as more than 400 Palestinians have been killed, including many women and children.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the new bombardment is “only the beginning” and that all negotiations for the shattered Gaza ceasefire, which lasted just under two months, will now take place “under fire”.
Palestinians in Gaza are fleeing their homes and shelters again after Israel issued new forced displacement orders.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 48,577 Palestinians have been confirmed dead and 112,041 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. Gaza’s Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.
