Israel launched a wave of airstrikes across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, the first major strikes since a ceasefire with Hamas took effect in January. The strikes killed more than 400 people and wounded over 500, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the strikes because of a lack of progress in talks to extend the ceasefire, per the AP. Officials said the operation was open-ended and was expected to expand.
- The White House said it had been consulted and voiced support for Israel's actions.
