ISRAELI attacks killed at least 85 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip today, according to local health officials. 

Hours after that assessment, Hamas fired three rockets at Israel without causing casualties, in the first such attack since Israel broke the ceasefire with a surprise bombardment of Gaza on Tuesday.

The Israeli military meanwhile restored a blockade on northern Gaza, including Gaza City, that it had maintained for most of the war and announced an new ground operation near the already largely destroyed town of Beit Lahiya. Strikes have already killed dozens in the area over recent days.
