Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his military to immediately carry out strikes in Gaza on Tuesday - reports suggest at least nine people were killed in the bombing

The Israeli prime minister's office says he'll convene generals to discuss "a clear violation" of the U.S.-brokered peace deal by Hamas, and Israel's response.

Israel has strengthened its security with a series of sweeping military victories in the past two years. It has also become far more isolated internationally, with no clear path ahead.

An official from the Israel Defense Forces told NBC News that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for strikes in retaliation for a Hamas attack in Rafah.

Netanyahu’s far-right cabinet has called for harsh measures in response, with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urging the re-arrest of Palestinians released in exchanges “in response to Hamas’s repeated and ongoing violations”. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said the correct response was to “destroy [Hamas] completely”.

Jerusalem Post editor says Israel-Hamas situation would be 'worse' under Kamala Harris presidency, praising Trump's unconventional approach to Middle East peace.
