Israel Resumes Gaza Airstrikes After Ceasefire Violation

Following reported attacks on Israeli troops in the southern Gaza Strip, Israel's military launched a new wave of airstrikes targeting Hamas positions, including a tunnel system used previously for holding Israeli hostages. The Israeli army described the attacks on its soldiers as a serious breach of the ceasefire agreement and responded with bombings on approximately 20 targets across Gaza. Hamas denied involvement in the attacks and reaffirmed its commitment to the ceasefire, while accusing Israel of violating the agreement and fabricating pretexts for its military actions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered decisive military action against Hamas following the incidents, with Police Minister Ben-Gvir urging a full resumption of combat operations. The situation remains tense as both sides accuse each other of ceasefire violations, leading to renewed violence and casualties, including at least four Palestinians killed in an airstrike. Observers expect such flare-ups to continue amid the fragile ceasefire.
