The Israeli military, which reported it hit dozens of targets, said the attacks would continue for as long as necessary and extend beyond air strikes.
Following a failed ceasefire, Israel launched airstrikes on Gaza, killing at least 330 Palestinians, including Hamas officials. Hamas accuses Israel of treachery and warns the strikes endanger remaining hostages. Israel states the attacks will continue until hostages are released and war aims achieved, designating areas in Gaza as "dangerous combat zones" and ordering evacuations. Witnesses report heavy bombardment, numerous casualties including children, and a dire situation in Gaza.
