Israel kills hundreds in ‘initial stages’ of its new Gaza operation

The Israeli military said Saturday it had launched “extensive strikes” in the Gaza Strip over the past day as part of the “initial stages” of a fresh offensive on the besieged Palestinian territory. More than 300 Gazans have been killed in Israeli strikes since Thursday, making it one of the deadliest phases of bombardment since a truce collapsed in March.
