Israel Resumes Airstrikes on Gaza, Ending Ceasefire and Escalating Conflict<\/b><\/p>\n
Han Saerom (Sookmyung Women\u2019s University)<\/b><\/p>\n
On March 18, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes across Gaza, ending a tenuous ceasefire in place since January. Overnight bombings killed at least 85 Palestinians, bringing the total death toll to nearly 600 since limited strikes resumed in early March. Israel justified the offensive as necessary to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages and preventing the group from regrouping. However, critics argue that domestic political motives, including challenges faced by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also played a role.<\/p>\n
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a key Israeli advocacy group, accused Netanyahu\u2019s government of undermining a diplomatic resolution that could have freed the remaining captives. Hamas, in turn, denounced the strikes as an effort to derail negotiations and prolong Gaza\u2019s suffering. On March 21, Hamas fired three rockets into Israel, marking its first attack since the ceasefire\u2019s collapse. While there were no casualties, the exchange signaled a dangerous escalation.<\/p>\n
Hamas has insisted that further hostage releases must be tied to a permanent ceasefire and Israeli troop withdrawal, rejecting Israel\u2019s attempts to impose new conditions. Meanwhile, U.S. officials had reportedly been consulted before Israel resumed attacks, despite Washington publicly supporting a ceasefire extension. The breakdown of recent negotiations in Qatar, where the U.S. proposed a phased hostage-prisoner exchange without an immediate Israeli withdrawal, further deepened the deadlock.<\/p>\n
The renewed violence has worsened Gaza\u2019s humanitarian crisis, with essential supplies running critically low due to Israel\u2019s continued blockade. As both sides refuse to compromise, the risk of broader regional conflict grows, with armed groups in Lebanon and Yemen expressing support for Hamas. Diplomatic efforts will likely intensify, but without a framework addressing both humanitarian and security concerns, a prolonged conflict appears inevitable.<\/p>\n
