Hamas Threatens Mass Casualties in Response to Israeli Bombing

The armed wing of Hamas has warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he will be held responsible for the deaths of captives taken hostage if Israel continues to bomb Gaza. Hamas claims that ongoing bombing will lead to the deaths of the hostages. The UK has announced a halt in funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) after allegations that some of its employees were involved in attacks on Israel. Israel denies responsibility for the deaths of hostages and continues its bombardment of Gaza, despite international calls for a ceasefire. There is growing dissent towards Netanyahu from both the families of the hostages and the Israeli public, with thousands calling for his resignation.
