Rescuers say 100 dead as Israel launches fresh Gaza offensive
- On May 18, 2025, Israel initiated a large-scale military campaign called Operation Gideon Chariots targeting Gaza, aiming to compel Hamas to free hostages and to weaken the group.
- The operation followed a breakdown of a January ceasefire resumed on March 18 and increasing hostilities after Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 people and abducted 251.
- Recent Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed over 150 people in 24 hours, including women and children in multiple locations such as Jabaliya and Deir al-Balah, with ongoing concerns for at least 23 hostages believed alive.

- The intensified offensive has drawn widespread protests, international alarm, and calls for a ceasefire, while indirect talks between Israel and Hamas continue in Qatar without preconditions but no breakthrough yet.
