The barrage of airstrikes killed at least 46 children, Gaza health officials reported.
Israel killed at least 104 Palestinians in a barrage of airstrikes on Gaza overnight on Wednesday, in a major violation of the ceasefire agreement that Israel has said is back on after the strikes.
At least 46 children were among those killed by the strikes, which also wounded 253 Palestinians, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said. Gaza’s Civil Defense teams were forced to use small tools and their hands in attempts to dig through the rubble for survivors and bodies.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Marmorstein said that the strikes were carried out in full coordination with the U.S., per the Associated Press.
Israel and the U.S. said that the ceasefire is back on after the strikes. “As I understand it, they took out an Israeli soldier,” U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters on Tuesday.
