JERUSALEM (AA) – Following the resumption of attacks on the Gaza Strip after the end of the humanitarian pause on Friday morning, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called for “crushing Gaza with all force.”

The leader of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party said on X: “For the sake of the children who have not yet returned, for the murdered who will no longer return, so that the horrors of 7/10 will never return, we must return and crush Gaza with all our might, destroy Hamas and return to the Strip, without compromises, without deals, at maximum power.”

At least 32 Palestinians were killed and several others injured as Israel resumed attacks in various areas of the Gaza Strip within three hours of the pause ending early on Friday, according to the Health Ministry in the enclave.

The pause between Israel and Hamas, which went into effect on Nov. 24, ended on Friday morning.
