Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to implement phase two of the ceasefire in agreement with Hamas.
Israel has launched its greatest assault on Gaza since January 19, when a cease-fire was agreed between Hamas and Israel.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and many others have been forced to flee their homes.
Israel says strikes have been ordered due to a lack of progress in talks to extend the ceasefire.
The White House confirmed that it had been consulted about the attacks before being carried out.
Hamas asks Israel to be held responsible for violating the agreement.
So, can Netanyahu achieve its goals through war?
