The Israel Defense Forces launched a series of airstrikes across Gaza after troops came under fire in the southern part of the enclave, marking a significant breach of the nearly six-week-old ceasefire. The strikes targeted senior Hamas commanders and resulted in at least 25 deaths, according to Palestinian sources, with casualties reported among both combatants and civilians. The violence comes amid ongoing international efforts to stabilize Gaza, including plans for a multinational peacekeeping force and new police training initiatives led by the European Union. Tensions remain high as both sides accuse each other of undermining the fragile truce, while negotiations over security arrangements and the return of hostages continue.
