Israel launches air strikes in Gaza, accusing Hamas of 'blatant violation of ceasefire'
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2elr16jjqo

Israel has launched air strikes in southern Gaza, after it said "terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF [Israel Defense Forces] troops".
The IDF said the attack in the southern city of Rafah was "a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement" and promised to respond firmly.
Hamas said it was "unaware of any events or clashes taking place in the Rafah area, as these are red zones under the control of the occupation".
The ceasefire deal - part of President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war - came into force on 10 October. The first phase currently under way has seen the release of all living hostages as well as the return to Israel of 12 out of 28 of those deceased.
Israel has freed 250 Palestinian prisoners in its jails and 1,718 detainees from Gaza, as well as returning 15 bodies of Palestinians in return for every Israeli hostage's remains.
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.
At least 68,000 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures are seen by the UN as reliable.
In its statement on Sunday, the IDF said "terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF troops operating to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the Rafah area, in southern Gaza".
"In response, the IDF has begun striking in the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnel shafts and military structures used for terrorist activity."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said he had met top defence officials and instructed them "to act forcefully against terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip".
Hamas's military wing denied knowledge of any clashes in the Rafah area.
In its statement, al-Qassam Brigades said: "Contact with our remaining groups there has been cut off since the resumption of war in March of this year.
"Therefore, we have no connection to any events taking place in those areas, and we cannot communicate with any of our fighters there, if any of them are still alive."
IDF forces still occupy and control just over 50% of the Gaza Strip, having withdrawn to an agreed so-called yellow line.
Hamas, which has ruled the territory for 18 years, is facing a challenge from armed groups, such as Yasser Abu Shabab's Popular Forces, gangs which it says are being armed and supported by Israel.
It has recalled about 7,000 members of its security forces to reassert control in Gaza, according to local sources.
A local source familiar with Sunday's incident told BBC News that Hamas fighters attacked a group affiliated with Abu Shabab in south-eastern Rafah, an area controlled by Israeli forces.
The militants reportedly came under surprise tank fire, leading to a short exchange of gunfire before Israeli warplanes bombed the site.
Residents living south of the nearby European Hospital said the strikes were accompanied by artillery shelling, with explosions shaking parts of Rafah.
Under the Trump 20-point ceasefire, Hamas is supposed to relinquish its weapons so that it no longer poses a threat to Israel.
Hamas has accused Israel of funding and arming rival gangs that it says have looted aid trucks. It says Israel is deliberately empowering criminal gangs so as to challenge Hamas' authority and foment chaos.
Without the presence of a robust international force in Gaza there is a real risk of further fighting between Palestinian factions.

bibi couldn't keep the ceasefire to the end of the month cuz ofc he need conflicts to continue to stay in power

Good ol' Israeli ceasefire: You cease, they fire.

This should disqualify Trump getting a Nobel Peace Prize. He has to make it stick or no prize

Other things that should disqualify him: Every other thing hes ever done in his entire life.

Oh look. It didn't stick. Again.

When occupied and subject to genocidal violence armed resistance is justified and necessary.

This is 100% on Isn'treal and the IOF

But trump stopped da three thousand year old war single handedly

They were never going to agree to disarm. That was a poison pill in the agreement to pretend that they violated

The blind saw this coming.

Didn't even last a week this time. Fucking monsters.

Not quite. Even the dead hostages hold value. If the bodies aren't found. They are technically still alive on paper in Israel. That's why they make trade for the dead ones in the first place

The agreement was for hostages both living & dead, all living were handed over but the dead has been a different story, Hamas have sent back some of the dead but also sent a dead Palestinian in one of the handovers, they also said they were having trouble trying to locate the remaining dead.

Israel says it will return to ceasefire after Gaza strikes
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2elr16jjqo

The Israeli military has said it will resume enforcement of the ceasefire in Gaza after launching air strikes on Sunday in response to what it called Hamas's "blatant violation" of the deal.
Strikes began in southern Gaza after the Israeli military said "terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire" toward its troops in Rafah, killing two soldiers.
Hamas said it was "unaware" of any clashes in the area under Israeli control.
By evening, Israel said it had hit Hamas targets across Gaza, with hospital sources saying 44 people were killed.
Hamas had said it was committed to the ceasefire, but accused Israel of a violation and warned strikes could "push the situation toward a total collapse".
After 21:00 local time, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it "had begun renewed enforcement of the ceasefire", adding that it would uphold the agreement and "respond firmly to any violation of it".
The statement did not directly specify whether an earlier announcement to suspend aid entering Gaza had also been reversed.

this is so cartoon level of fuckery

Separately, a doctor at Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat said four bodies were brought in after an Israeli air strike hit a school sheltering displaced families.
The doctor said the casualties including several women and children.

fuck these assholes

Pretty sure Biden's ceasefire they signed back in January lasted longer than this one.

Bibi is the closest thing we have to a vampire in real life. Its like he cant survive without the blood of Palestinians on his hands.
