Since the outbreak of the Gaza war on October 7, 2023, after deadly Hamas-led attacks on Israel, Israeli troops have killed almost 50,000 people.
The renewed military offensive was announced by Israeli PM [Benjamin Netanyahu](https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/world/benjamin-netanyahu) aiming to force Hamas to release remaining captives.
However, Hamas accused Israel of sacrificing captives and breaking the ceasefire agreement by refusing peace negotiations and withdrawal from Gaza.
