According to local media reports, the Israeli army suddenly launched a large-scale airstrike on the Palestinian Gaza Strip in the early morning of March 18, local time, killing at least 30 people, including children, and injuring dozens of people. The number of casualties is still rising.

The Gaza Strip Health Ministry said on Sunday that Israeli military attacks have killed at least 30 Palestinians in the past 24 hours, while Arab and American mediators are working to consolidate a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Palestinian officials said that despite the ceasefire agreement reached on January 19, which stopped large-scale fighting in Gaza, dozens of people were killed by Israeli gunfire.
