NBC News Live Updates
Jerusalem, Israel - Israeli forces have commenced a series of strikes across the Gaza Strip, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict with Hamas. The strikes are being carried out in response to a barrage of rocket attacks launched from Gaza into Israeli territory.
According to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), the strikes are targeting Hamas infrastructure, including military installations, command centers, and weapons storage facilities. The IDF has stated that the operation is aimed at disrupting Hamas's ability to launch further rocket attacks and to restore security to Israeli citizens.
The strikes have reportedly caused significant damage to Hamas targets, including the destruction of a major weapons depot. However, casualties have also been reported on both sides. Palestinian officials have reported at least 10 deaths, including civilians, while Israeli authorities have confirmed the injury of several Israeli soldiers.
The escalation comes amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the conflict. Egypt and the United States have been mediating talks between Israel and Hamas, but no breakthrough has yet been achieved. The United Nations has also called for a ceasefire, expressing concern over the potential humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected in the coming hours and days. NBC News will continue to provide live updates and the latest coverage of the conflict as it unfolds.
