Fragile Ceasefire: Gaza Strip Conflict Worsens
The Israeli military attacked Gaza for a fourth day, killing three people despite a ceasefire. The ceasefire, brokered by the U.S., remains fragile amid ongoing violence. Both sides have been exchanging hostages and bodies as part of the agreement. The conflict has claimed over 68,000 Palestinian lives.
The Israeli military launched attacks on the Gaza Strip for a fourth consecutive day on Friday, resulting in three deaths, according to Palestinian health authorities. Despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump, Israel continues its operations, as residents report ongoing shelling and gunfire in northern Gaza.
The fragile ceasefire remains under strain due to periodic outbreaks of violence since its implementation three weeks ago. This includes Israel's recent retaliatory strike for a slain Israeli soldier, which resulted in 104 deaths as per Gazan health sources. The ceasefire agreement has yet to resolve key issues, such as Hamas's disarmament and a timeline for Israeli withdrawal.
The ceasefire terms involve exchanging hostages and bodies between Israel and Hamas. Following the accord, Hamas released living hostages, while Israel agreed to retreat its forces and halt offenses. Though exchanges continue, allegations arise as Israel accuses Hamas of delaying the handover process, highlighting ongoing tensions as the region remains in ruins from the protracted conflict.
