Israel resumed the war in Gaza with a series of massive airstrikes against what it described as Hamas targets all across the enclave overnight. The big picture: The strikes come exactly two months after the signing of the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal that the Biden administration brokered with the help of the incoming Trump administration.

Israel’s military early Tuesday said it was “conducting extensive strikes” against Hamas targets in Gaza, further straining an increasingly fragile ceasefire between Israel and the militant group.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israel launched new strikes against Hamas and promised "increasing military force" after talks on further hostage releases stalled, Israel's Office of the Prime Minister said Monday.
