Israeli air strikes pounded Gaza and killed more than 400 people, Palestinian health authorities say
Following stalled ceasefire talks, Israeli air strikes in Gaza killed over 400 people on March 18, 2025. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated the strikes were "only the beginning" and future ceasefire talks would occur "under fire" until Hamas is destroyed and hostages are freed. Israel and Hamas accuse each other of breaching the truce, while mediators Egypt, Qatar, and the EU condemned the Israeli assault.
