Israel says it will return to ceasefire hours after carrying out strikes on Gaza

  • On Sunday, Israeli forces launched at least 20 airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and halted all aid deliveries, marking the most serious test to the fragile ceasefire that took effect on October 11th.
  • The Israel Defense Forces said the strikes followed an alleged Rafah attack that killed two soldiers and wounded three, while Hamas' armed wing denied any involvement or communication with fighters there.
  • Gaza officials said at least 51 Palestinians were killed Sunday in strikes hitting a cafe west of Deir al-Balah, the al-Bureij refugee camp, the Sardi school, al-Zawaida Beach and a building housing journalists.
  • Humanitarian groups warn hundreds of thousands of Palestinians face severe malnutrition amid siege conditions, while Israeli ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich urge renewed full-scale fighting.
  • Izzat al-Risheq said, `Hamas movement reaffirms its commitment to the ceasefire agreement and emphasises that the Zionist occupation is the party continuing to violate the agreement and fabricate baseless pretexts to justify its crimes`, as the Gaza Government Media Office reports Israel violated the nine-day ceasefire at least 48 times.
