Israel doubles strikes on Gaza Strip by land, sea and air

Israel almost doubled its strikes on the Gaza Strip overnight, as it ramped up its attack against Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces said it struck more than 450 targets in Gaza from land, sea and air over the past 24 hours - the most since a truce collapsed last week and around double the daily figures typically reported since then. Hamas has said it is battling Israeli troops “on all axes of the incursion into the Gaza Strip”. Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed nearly 17,200 people, mostly women and children, according to the Hamas-run authorities. The vast majority of Gazans are now displaced and unable to access any aid, hospitals are overrun and food is running out, with the main United Nations agency warning that society was “on the verge of a full-blown collapse”.
