Hamas Fires Rockets at Israeli Cities, IDF Responds with Expanded Offensive

Hamas launched a series of rocket attacks targeting Israeli cities on April 6, 2025, prompting a swift and forceful response from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The attacks resulted in widespread alarm and damage in the affected areas, with reports confirming that over 30 people were killed in Gaza as a result of IDF retaliatory strikes. The situation escalated further when 15 medics were killed, drawing international condemnation and increasing tensions in the region.

Israeli Foreign Minister Katz announced that he had instructed the IDF to widen its offensive against Hamas in response to the rocket fire. The IDF stated that Hamas 'must pay a heavy price' for the attacks, signaling a potential escalation in the ongoing conflict. The international community has expressed growing concern over the rising casualties and the targeting of medical personnel, urging both sides to seek a peaceful resolution.

The rocket attacks and subsequent military response have reignited fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East, with many calling for immediate diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation. The violence underscores the fragile nature of the ceasefire agreements and the deep-seated tensions between Israel and Hamas.
