Israel’s latest strikes in Gaza have triggered the deadliest day since the ceasefire began, killing five senior Hamas officials and more than 20 people overall, according to local authorities. The IDF says the operation was in response to a gunman who opened fire across the yellow line separating Israel- and Hamas-controlled areas. One of the targets, Alaa Hadidi, was reportedly a key figure in Hamas’ weapons-manufacturing network. Israel claims it notified the U.S.-led truce monitoring center before the strikes, while accusing Hamas of repeatedly sending fighters to attack troops. Hamas initially suggested the ceasefire could collapse over alleged “Israeli violations,” but later denied threatening to end the truce, calling on mediators to pressure Israel to uphold the agreement. Meanwhile, Trump faces criticism as he shifts focus to Ukraine peace efforts, even as his claimed “unprecedented peace” in the Middle East appears to be unraveling.
