Israeli airstrikes pounded Gaza, killing more than 400 people, Palestinian health authorities said on Tuesday, threatening the complete collapse of a two-month ceasefire as Israel vowed to use more force to free hostages held by Hamas.
Hamas, which still holds 59 of the approximately 250 hostages seized in its October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, accused Israel of breaching the ceasefire and jeopardizing efforts by mediators to secure a permanent truce.

00:29earlier, and they told us that there are people trapped under the rubble, dead people
00:35or maybe injured, maybe dead, maybe alive. And they were not able to rescue them or to
00:42take them out. That is the scene here. Hundreds of people have been killed. Many others, or
00:49including dozens, have been have been wrapped under the rubble because of the fact that
00:56the lack of the machineries and the truckloads and other actually equipment needed for the
01:04Palestinians to take out these bodies out of the rubble. Yes, that is regarding this.
