Israel has launched airstrikes in Gaza following claims that Hamas violated a ceasefire agreement brokered by Donald Trump. The Israeli military reported multiple attacks by Hamas fighters beyond the designated buffer zone, including rocket-propelled grenade and sniper fire. In response, Israeli forces targeted locations in Rafah and Jabalia, stating the strikes were aimed at removing immediate threats.
Hamas officials denied violating the ceasefire and accused Israel of breaching the agreement. The United States also warned of a potential imminent attack by Hamas on civilians, calling it a grave breach of the deal. The fragile peace has been further strained by disputes over the release of hostage bodies and ongoing control of Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that the conflict will not end until Hamas relinquishes its weapons and control over Gaza.
