On March 18, the Israeli army resumed military operations in the sector, delivering massive strikes on it and thereby interrupting the ceasefire regime established in January this year. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained this by the refusal of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas from the proposals put forward at the talks by mediators and special envoy of the US President Stephen Witkoff, stating that the purpose of the operation in Gaza is the release of all hostages. The radicals blamed Israel and the United States for the resumption of hostilities. tass.ru.
