Israeli strikes across Gaza kill at least 59 as Israel prepares to ramp up its offensive
On Wednesday, May 7, 2025, airstrikes carried out by Israeli forces throughout Gaza resulted in the deaths of no fewer than 92 individuals, among them women, children, and a pair of journalists.
The violence follows Israel ending a ceasefire with Hamas in mid-March and approving a plan to intensify its military operations across Gaza.
The plan involves seizing Gaza, holding captured areas, forcibly displacing Palestinians to southern Gaza, and controlling aid distribution alongside private security.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu indicated uncertainty regarding the status of three hostages who were earlier thought to be alive, while Trump revealed that only 21 out of 59 hostages still held in Gaza are confirmed to be alive.
Hamas states it wants a war end, a long-term truce, and is prepared to release all hostages; meanwhile, families demand immediate information as Israel prepares to call up reserve soldiers.
