Israel Hammers Hamas Convoy in Gaza with Over 100 Trucks Hit

Israel launched massive airstrikes across Gaza today targeting over 100 pickup trucks tied to Hamas in a coordinated blitz. The Israel Defense Forces claim the vehicles were linked to the October 7 attacks that killed 1200 Israelis. This marks one of the largest single-day strikes since the conflict reignited last year.

The IDF says the trucks were used to haul weapons and stage propaganda stunts for Hamas. Some were hidden inside buildings forcing strikes on urban sites across every Gaza region. Hamas reports hundreds dead though Israel insists it hit only military targets.

The operation follows a collapsed ceasefire that had briefly paused fighting in late 2024. Israel accuses Hamas of rejecting peace deals and hoarding hostages. The strikes aim to cripple the group’s logistics as Trump’s team pushes for a new truce.

Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry claims over 400 were killed including a top official. The IDF has not confirmed civilian tolls but says Hamas uses human shields. Independent tallies remain unclear amid the chaos of ongoing bombardments.

Trump has warned Hamas to free all hostages or face harsher US backing for Israel. His envoy sees hope for a ceasefire but today’s strikes signal Israel’s resolve. Egypt has floated a rival peace plan to keep Palestinians in Gaza.

The airstrikes hit a mix of open roads and dense neighborhoods rocking the enclave. Hamas vowed retaliation and fired rockets at Israel for the first time in months. Both sides blame each other for shattering the fragile truce.

Israel’s defense minister pledged to escalate until Hamas bends on hostages. The US says Hamas bears fault for rejecting terms to extend the calm. Today’s assault shows Israel betting on force to shift the stalemate.

This barrage could reshape talks or plunge Gaza deeper into war. Trump’s administration faces pressure to broker peace as civilian tolls mount. For now Israel’s firepower speaks loudest in this brutal deadlock.
