Intense airstrikes and shelling have continued in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of at least 85 Palestinians and injuring hundreds.

The Gaza Health Ministry has reported that the total death toll from the Israeli bombardment has reached 506, with over 900 individuals injured.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that they have begun ground operations in the northern Gaza Strip, particularly along the coastal road near Beit Lahiya, following a recent offensive in central Gaza.

According to emergency responders, the Israeli strikes targeted several homes in both northern and southern regions of the enclave.

The IDF stated that over the past 24 hours, they have conducted a targeted ground operation aimed at expanding a buffer zone separating the northern and southern parts of Gaza at the Nitzrim axis.

Residents were advised to avoid traveling along the Salah al-Din main route from north to south, with the army indicating that movement should only occur along the coast.

The IDF also reported the assassination of a commander of the General Security Service in Gaza.

In response to the Israeli actions, Hamas launched rockets from Gaza toward Tel Aviv, marking its first military response since the resumption of aerial bombardments and ground operations by Israel.

Alarms sounded in Tel Aviv and central Israel, with the military intercepting one projectile while two others fell in uninhabited areas.

Hamas has indicated that discussions are ongoing with mediators regarding a ceasefire and an effort to compel Israel to adhere to agreements.

In a political statement, the White House confirmed that President Donald Trump fully supports Israel's airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza, attributing the resurgence of violence to Hamas.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt stated that the president backs Israel's military actions over the recent days.

Simultaneously, European Union leaders expressed their dismay over the collapse of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and condemned Hamas for not releasing remaining hostages.

The European Council issued a statement condemning the breakdown of the ceasefire and the resulting civilian casualties from recent airstrikes.

Qatar and Egypt emphasized the need to enhance joint efforts to implement the ceasefire in Gaza in its three stages.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) condemned the ongoing humanitarian crisis faced by Gaza's residents.

UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini criticized Israel for preventing humanitarian aid and essential commercial supplies from entering Gaza.

He stated that over the past three weeks, Gazans have continued to endure severe humanitarian suffering.

Lazzarini noted that evacuation orders are forcing people to flee, affecting tens of thousands, many of whom had already been displaced since the onset of the conflict approximately a year and a half ago.

He called for an immediate renewal of the ceasefire and unhindered access for humanitarian aid.

Additionally, he reported the recent deaths of five agency staff members in Gaza.
