The Israeli military has launched deadly airstrikes and sent troops back to the war-torn enclave, in a move that authorities say aims to remove the Islamist militant group from power and release the remaining 24 hostages.

In a defiant video, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that "negotiations will continue only under fire." While his most fervent supporters have praised the offensive, opposition parties and relatives of hostages took to the streets once again to denounce a move they argue might endanger the 24 remaining captives.
