Israeli military operations resume following the end of a ceasefire, resulting in casualties among UN personnel and Palestinian civilians.
The Gaza Ministry of Health has confirmed the death of one foreign United Nations worker due to an Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip.
The incident occurred against the backdrop of intensified military operations, which have also left five additional foreign UN workers severely injured.
These developments follow the resumption of Israeli strikes on Gaza after the conclusion of a ceasefire agreement that had been in place since January.
The Israeli military stated that it will increase its military operations against Hamas.
In a statement, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that the attacks would continue with greater force.
The recent military actions were reportedly authorized by US President
Donald Trump, who asserted that they came after Hamas refused to accept proposals backed by the United States intended to extend the truce.
In response to the renewed violence, Jordan's King Abdullah II characterized the Israeli strikes as an 'extremely dangerous step.' French President Emmanuel Macron also condemned the attacks, deeming them a 'dramatic step backwards.'
The Gaza Health Ministry reported significant casualties as a result of the ongoing Israeli military operations, stating that at least 412 Palestinians have been killed since hostilities reignited on Tuesday morning, with an additional 562 sustaining injuries.
The situation in the Gaza Strip remains critical as international calls for de-escalation continue amid the rising toll of violence.
