Hey fam! In the latest Middle East update, Israel says the Gaza ceasefire is back on after another round of strikes… 🔄
On Sunday, two Israeli soldiers were tragically killed when militants fired an anti-tank missile. In response, the Israeli military struck back at Hamas targets across the enclave, including tunnels and weapons depots. Gaza's health authorities report at least 44 Palestinians lost their lives in those raids. 💔
Israel had momentarily paused humanitarian aid—citing what it called a "blatant" truce breach by militants—but aid convoys are now set to roll again on Monday after U.S. pressure. 🛢️🩺
U.S. President Donald Trump, who helped broker the agreement, insists the ceasefire still stands. American officials believe the top Hamas leadership might not be behind the violations, and they are urging all sides to keep cool. 🤝
Hamas's armed wing maintains it's committed to the deal, saying it wasn't aware of clashes in Rafah and hasn't been in touch with local groups there since March. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a firm response to any further breaches. 🛡️
