Military impacts: why Israel resumed its military operation in Gaza

The second stage of the hostage release deal with Hamas is in jeopardy.

Earlier in the day, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, said at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip that Russia condemns Israel's resumption of airstrikes in Gaza and calls for the lifting of restrictions on humanitarian operations throughout the occupied Palestinian territory.

On March 18, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the resumption of military operations against the Palestinian Hamas movement in Gaza. As a result of the Israeli airstrikes, more than 1,000 people were injured, and the death toll increased to 310. The media also said that Israel had warned the administration of US President Donald Trump in advance about the resumption of attacks on Gaza.
