¡Hola, amigos! 🕊️ The ceasefire in Gaza is back on, but the road to peace remains rocky after recent clashes.
The Israeli military announced on Sunday that the truce resumed after militants launched an anti-tank missile and fired on troops, killing two soldiers. In response, Israel carried out airstrikes across the enclave, targeting field commanders, gunmen, tunnels, and weapons depots.
Gaza health authorities reported at least 44 Palestinians killed in the retaliatory strikes, fueling international concern. Meanwhile, aid deliveries, which were paused amid the fighting, are set to restart on Monday after pressure from the U.S.
President Donald Trump insisted the ceasefire he brokered remains in place, noting U.S. officials believe Hamas leadership may not have ordered the latest attacks. He said, "We will handle it toughly, but properly."
The armed wing of Hamas reiterated its commitment to the truce, claiming no knowledge of clashes in Rafah. But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a strong response to any violations, warning that further breaches will not go unanswered.
As aid convoys prepare to roll back into Gaza, the region watches closely hoping for calm but bracing for more twists in this high-stakes saga. 💔🚑
