Gaza night sky lit by explosions after Netanyahu orders ‘powerful strikes’

Explosions seen over Gaza night sky, after Netanyahu said he ordered 'powerful strikes'
  • Benjamin Netanyahu ordered "powerful strikes" in Gaza, resulting in visible explosions in the night sky.
  • Israeli strikes south of Gaza City killed at least two people and injured four, according to Gaza's civil defence.
  • The strikes followed an Israeli official's report that Hamas fired on Israeli forces in Rafah and returned partial remains of a hostage, actions deemed a violation of the 10 October ceasefire.
  • Hamas subsequently delayed the return of a hostage's body after Netanyahu announced his plans for attacks.
