Attacks across war-torn strip leave at least 15 killed

Heavy Israeli bombing rocked the Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing at least 15 Palestinians, in a major violation of the ceasefire.

More than 100 air strikes were reported in Rafah and Khan Younis in the south, Jabalia in the north, and parts of central Gaza.

Among the sites hit were a cafe, a mobile phone charging station, a group of journalists and a house sheltering displaced people.

    Yep, just go ahead and pause and unpause the cease fire whenever you want, Israel. Definitely a negotiating partner operating in good faith.

    The Israeli military said it had begun resuming enforcement of the Gaza ceasefire after it says it was “violated” by Hamas, signaling an end to strikes on the territory that it said were carried out in response to earlier attacks on its forces on Sunday, Reuters reported.

    “In accordance with the directive of the political echelon, and following a series of significant strikes in response to Hamas’ violations, the IDF has begun the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire,” the military said in a statement.

    It adds: “The IDF will continue to uphold the ceasefire agreement and will respond firmly to any violation of it.”

      Israel doesn’t violate ceasefires. It just pauses them while they fire and when Israel doesn’t fire the ceasefire resumes.
