Israeli warplanes started attacking Gaza again, and Palestinian civilians had to find safety. Meanwhile, rocket sirens were sounding in southern Israel. This happened because the one-week truce ended, and no agreement was reached to extend it, according to Reuters journalists.
In Khan Younis, southern Gaza, there was heavy bombing, and smoke filled the sky. People rushed to find shelter. In the northern part of Gaza, a major war zone, smoke rose above the ruins. Within two hours of the truce ending, 35 people were reported killed, and many more were injured in airstrikes targeting homes.
The Israeli military said they had restarted combat operations, blaming Hamas for breaking the truce by firing rockets and not releasing all hostages, which led to the increased conflict.
