Israeli warplanes launched air strikes on the southern Gaza city of Rafah following clashes between Hamas fighters and a militia reportedly backed by Israel. Residents reported explosions and artillery shelling near the European Hospital, but there were no immediate reports of casualties. The area remains under Israeli military control, and local rescue teams have been unable to access the site due to the presence of Israeli troops. Hamas officials accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement, while Israel claimed Hamas was responsible for a 'bold violation' of the truce.
