Israel has killed more than 100 people in a wave of airstrikes on Gaza, according to local health authorities, while saying it’s still committed to a United States-backed ceasefire.
The strikes followed the killing of an Israeli soldier in Gaza on Tuesday, with Israel saying the soldier was attacked by gunmen on territory within the ‘yellow line’ where its troops withdrew under the truce. Hamas has denied blame for the soldier’s death.
Even as Israel’s military affirmed it still intended to uphold the truce, it announced it had carried out another airstrike in the north of Gaza, where it said weapons had been stored. Medics said two people were killed in that attack.

In a recent operation, Israel announced a precision attack targeting Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, where they reported the presence of weapon caches.

This assault represents the most significant surge in hostilities within Gaza since a ceasefire was established on October 10th.

Israel has committed to maintaining the ceasefire, stating it will respond decisively to any breaches.

“Nothing is going to jeopardise” the ceasefire, Trump said.
“You have to understand Hamas is a very small part of peace in the Middle East, and they have to behave.”
Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, who has acted as a mediator between Hamas and Israel, said the attack on the Israeli soldier and the subsequent Israeli airstrikes had been “very disappointing and frustrating for us”.
Displaced Palestinians feared the truce could fall apart.
“The sounds of explosions and planes made us feel as if war had started again,” Ismail Zayda, 40, living in tents in western Gaza City with his 25-member family, told the Reuters news agency.

An Israeli official emphasized the necessity of retaliatory measures, noting, “The Israelis should respond when provoked, and they will take action when necessary.”

According to Palestinian health authorities, Israel’s ongoing military actions against Hamas in Gaza have resulted in approximately 68,000 Palestinian casualties.

Under the accord, Hamas released all living hostages in return for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and wartime detainees, many of the latter held without charge, while Israel pulled back its troops and halted its offensive.

Israel has accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire by stalling in handing over bodies.
