Israeli Airstrikes Kill at Least 60 in Gaza Amid Ceasefire Collapse

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed at least 60 people, including 27 children, according to local hospital officials. The attacks followed an order from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for "powerful strikes" after accusing Hamas of violating a fragile ceasefire. The flare-up began after Israeli forces were allegedly fired upon and Hamas returned what Israel claimed were only partial remains of a hostage. The intense overnight bombardment represents a significant escalation, seriously jeopardizing the tenuous US-brokered ceasefire that had been in place.
