Israel Says It Will Return To Ceasefire Hours After Carrying Out Strikes On Gaza

Israel says it has “begun renewed enforcement” of the ceasefire, hours after carrying out a “wave of strikes” on Gaza, and both sides accused each other of breaching the deal

The IDF earlier said Hamas “fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF troops” near Rafah, killing two – but the group says it is unaware of any clashes there

Hamas has said Israel “continues to breach the agreement”, while the IDF says the alleged attack by Hamas is a “bold violation of the ceasefire”

Hospital sources in Gaza say 44 people have been killed across the territory today

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the 7 October 2023 attack, in which Hamas-led gunmen killed about 1,200 people in southern Israel and took 251 others hostage

More than 68,000 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Netanyahu pays tribute to two soldiers killed in Gaza earlier today

Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu has paid tribute to two Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers killed in Rafah earlier today.

Major Yaniv Kola and Sgt Itay Yavetz “fell in the tragic incident in Rafah” and “fought valiantly” against Hamas to “maintain Israel’s security”, says Netanyahu.

“Their courage and heroism will forever be enshrined in our hearts,” he adds.

His comments follow an announcement from the IDF a little earlier that two soldiers had died in combat in the southern Gaza Strip today.
