Israel-Gaza Conflict Live Updates: Hamas accuses Israel of ceasefire breach as new airstrikes put hostage negotiations at risk

The Associated Press reports that Israeli strikes in Gaza have killed at most 350 people, according to reports from seven hospitals in the area. This figure doesn't contain casualties transported to smaller health facilities.

Israel has consulted on the issue with US the administration of President Trump prior to the launch of its latest round of violence in Gaza the White House said late Monday.

"The Trump administration and the White House were consulted by the Israelis on their attacks in Gaza tonight," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated on Fox News' "Hannity" program.

"As President Trump has made it clear, Hamas, the Huthis, Iran, all those who seek to terrorize not just Israel, but also the United States of America, will see a price to pay -- all hell will break loose," she stated in the live interview.

An Israeli official has told AFP that Tuesday's massive operation in Gaza is targeted at Hamas leadership as well as its military infrastructure. The official, speaking on anonymity stated that the strikes are targeted at high-ranking commanders as well as key figures within the Hamas group. The operation is scheduled to last "as long as necessary" and may extend past airstrikes.

Israel has launched a fresh round of airstrikes in Gaza on Tuesday morning due to the lack of progress in the ceasefire negotiations. Hamas condemns the strike in the context of the result of an "unprovoked escalation" and warned they risked the fate of hostages. It's unclear if the strikes were part of a pressure strategy or a complete restart of the 17-month-old conflict.
