In a 17-month war that has caused widespread destruction across Gaza and killed more than 48, 000 Palestinians, the surprise attack increased the chances of a full return to fighting.

What are the Israeli attacks’ allocators’ statements:

Hamas

Hamas has urged people to “raise their voices” to condemn the continuation of the Zionist extermination war against the Palestinians. Additionally, the group claimed that Israel is “fully accountable for breaking and overturning the agreement.”

In a statement, Netanyahu and his Nazi government “resume their aggression and genocidal war” against Gaza Strip defenseless civilians. We hold the Nazi Zionist occupation, the criminal Netanyahu, and the besieged Palestinian people, who are engaged in a brutal war and a systematic policy of starvation, entirely responsible for the repercussions of the treacherous aggression against Gaza, as well as the defenseless civilians and our besieged Palestinian people.

In order to overturn the ceasefire, Netanyahu and his extremist government are deciding to leave Gaza’s prisoners vulnerable.

Islamic Jihad in Palestine

The Islamic Jihad in Palestine (PIJ) says Israel is continuing its “war of extermination” on Gaza after “deliberately sabotaging all efforts to reach a ceasefire”, according to a statement shared by Israeli media outlet Haaretz.

Neither on the ground nor in negotiations will Israel gain from the renewed attacks by Netanyahu and his “bloodthirsty Nazi government.”

We reaffirm that thanks to the steadfastness of our oppressed people and the courage of our mujahideen in the fields of… resistance, what Netanyahu and his barbaric army failed to accomplish in 15 months of crimes and bloodshed, they will not accomplish again.

Israel

According to Israeli officials, the most recent assault on Gaza could go on forever.

According to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, “Israel will immediately attack Hamas with a growing military force.”

It claimed that Hamas “repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all offers it received from the mediators and the US presidential envoy, Steve Witkoff.”

In a statement, Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz instructed the IDF to take immediate action against the Hamas terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip. The IDF is currently attacking targets in the Gaza Strip that belong to the Hamas terrorist organization in order to accomplish the war’s goals, including the release of all of our hostages, both the living and the deceased.

“Israel will use its growing military might to fight Hamas from now on.”

Israel’s most recent attack constituted “a blatant violation of all international and humanitarian conventions,” according to the Government Media Office in Gaza in a statement. It does so in disregard of the ceasefire agreement.

The majority of these martyrs and missing people are women, children, and elderly people who were victims of genocides that targeted humanity, the land, and Palestinian history, according to the statement.

In a statement released on Monday, Inter Miami announced that a scan had revealed Messi had suffered a “low-grade injury in the adductor muscle” during the team’s 2-1 victory on Sunday. No schedule was provided for Messi’s return, according to the statement.

His availability for competition will depend on his clinical progress and response, according to Inter.

The 37-year-old returned with a goal off the bench in a CONCACAF Champions Cup victory after missing three games for Inter earlier this month.

Argentina’s squad for the world championship match against Uruguay on Friday, which will be followed by a showdown with Brazil on March 25 is without Messi.

In their next two games, Argentina will be guaranteed qualification for the next tournament.

Five points ahead of Uruguay in Montevideo, they lead the South American qualifying group’s 10-team group.

The top six teams from the United States, Mexico, and Canada automatically advance to the World Cup.

With six goals in the final twelve rounds, Messi leads the league in goals scored.

Additionally, Argentina are without River Plate fullback Paulo Montiel and Roma striker Paulo Dybala.

In response to a wave of violence and criminal activity, Peru has declared a state of emergency in the capital.

Late on Monday, the government under the leadership of President Dina Boluarte issued the decree directing the deployment of troops to Lima’s streets. The decision was prompted by the tragic death of a well-known singer in a criminal attack, which will grant police and the military the authority to detain people without any restrictions and for 30 days.

Even though authorities have cited recent gang arrests, the clampdown comes after weeks of more violent incidents involving criminal organizations that frequently target businesses, including those in transportation.

A well-known cumbia singer named Paul Flores passed away on Sunday as a result of an assault by assailants on a bus he was riding on in an ostensible attempt to extort the driver.

The shooting sparked outcry in the media after an explosion at a restaurant that left at least 11 people injured.

Crimewave

In recent months, there have been more murders, violent extortions, and attacks on public spaces in Peru. Between January 1 and March 16, police reported 459 killings and 1,909 extortion reports, all in January.

Boluarte declared that she would like to see murderers receive the death penalty as a result of the crime wave. Only convicted traitors can be executed in Peru.

Interior Minister Juan Jose Santivanez is being sued by opposition lawmakers for allegedly lacking a strategy to deal with the violence.

Later this week, the Congress’s plenary is scheduled to discuss the vote.

When criminal activity or social unrest has increased in recent years, Peruvian authorities have a number of emergency declarations.

The highlights of Tuesday, March 18 are listed below.
