"Israel's Withdrawal from Hostage Talks Escalates Gaza Conflict"

Israeli warplanes intensified their bombardment of Gaza for a second day, targeting various locations including southern Gaza, the Jabalya refugee camp, and the Shujaiya neighborhood. The Gaza Health Ministry reported at least 193 people killed and 652 injured since the collapse of a week-long humanitarian pause. Israel Defense Forces have hit 400 targets since Friday, signaling an escalation of the conflict. Hostage talks between Israel and Hamas have collapsed, with Israel recalling negotiators and vowing to continue the war until Hamas is eradicated. The renewed violence has overwhelmed Gaza's hospitals and caused fresh misery for its residents, with medical supplies running low. The United Nations warns of a humanitarian crisis and the potential for an exodus of Gaza residents to neighboring Egypt. Vice President Kamala Harris has stated that the United States will not permit forced relocations or the besiegement of Gaza.
