Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Friday that Israel has resumed combat operations in Gaza “with full force,” following the collapse of a temporary ceasefire. Speaking in Tel Aviv, he warned that the latest wave of airstrikes was “just the beginning” of renewed military action.
“We have made incredible achievements up until today,” Netanyahu said, addressing the Israeli public. “Together, we are changing the face of the Middle East.” He insisted that Israel remains committed to achieving its war goals, including the release of all hostages held by Hamas.
The overnight strikes marked Israel’s first major offensive in Gaza since the ceasefire began in January. Netanyahu claimed that Israel had made repeated efforts to extend the ceasefire and negotiate a hostage release through diplomatic talks in Doha and Cairo but accused Hamas of rejecting proposals “every time.”
Netanyahu also expressed strong support for U.S. actions against Iran, stating that he highly appreciates "our American friends" in their response. “There's one thing I'm certain of—we will beat them, and we can overcome them,” he said, adding that Israel’s military campaign was far from over.
The Israeli military has not provided details on the scale of the strikes, but local reports suggest multiple areas in Gaza were targeted. With fighting now intensifying, efforts for a renewed ceasefire appear increasingly uncertain.
