Israel Strikes Gaza, Accusing Hamas of Ceasefire Violation

Israel has launched air strikes in southern Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating a ceasefire agreement. The Israeli military stated that "terrorists" fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire at its troops in the Rafah area. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) called this a "blatant violation of the ceasefire" and promised a firm response. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed officials to "act forcefully against terrorist targets." However, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, denied any knowledge of clashes in the area. They stated that communication with their fighters there has been cut off since the war resumed earlier this year. A local source reported that the incident began when Hamas fighters clashed with a rival armed group in an area controlled by Israeli forces. This led to an exchange of fire and subsequent Israeli airstrikes. The ceasefire, which is part of a […]

Israel: Rafah Crossing Opening Date for Gaza to Be Set Later

Israel has announced that the date for reopening the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt will be announced later, after necessary preparations are completed with Egyptian authorities. The Israeli defense ministry body COGAT stated that the crossing will only be open for the movement of people and will not be used for humanitarian aid. It emphasized that aid continues to enter Gaza through other designated crossings. The Rafah crossing is a vital gateway for Gaza's connection to the outside world. International organizations have stockpiled aid on the Egyptian side, awaiting permission to transport it into the devastated territory. The European Union has stated it is ready to restart its monitoring mission at the crossing to support the US-brokered ceasefire agreement.

Israel Says One of Bodies Handed Over by Hamas Is Not a Former Hostage

The Israeli military announced Wednesday that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas during recent prisoner exchanges was not among the hostages previously identified as missing or deceased. Following overnight forensic examinations on four sets of remains returned Tuesday, Israeli medical officials concluded that one “does not match any of the hostages,” the army said in a statement. “Hamas is required to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages,” the military warned, emphasizing that full compliance with the terms of the U.S.-brokered truce was expected. Under the ceasefire agreement mediated by U.S. President Donald Trump, Hamas has so far returned 20 surviving Israeli hostages and eight bodies — six Israelis, one Nepalese, and one whose identity remains unknown. Meanwhile, a hospital in Gaza confirmed that it had received the remains of 45 Palestinians handed back by Israel. […]

Hamas Tightens Gaza Control as Trump Vows to Disarm Group

Hamas has launched a sweeping crackdown across Gaza, executing alleged collaborators and reasserting control over the war-ravaged enclave, even as U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to forcibly disarm the militant group if it refuses to lay down its weapons. The Israeli military confirmed Tuesday that the remains of four more hostages had been recovered from Gaza, a day after Hamas handed over the bodies of four others and released the final 20 surviving captives under a U.S.-brokered truce. Hamas released a video showing the street execution of eight blindfolded and kneeling men it labelled “collaborators and outlaws.” The footage surfaced as heavy clashes erupted between Hamas security units and armed Palestinian clans in parts of the territory. In northern Gaza, Israeli troops continued to pull back from Gaza City while Hamas’s black-masked police returned to patrol the streets. The group’s […]

Indirect talks between Israel and Hamas have begun in Egypt, with mediators shuttling between the two delegations in an effort to end the nearly two-year war in Gaza.
