US President Donald Trump says the ceasefire in Gaza is still in place, hours after Israel’s military said it carried out a wave of strikes against Hamas
The IDF said it would resume enforcement of the ceasefire, after Israel and Hamas accused each other of breaching the deal
Strikes began in southern Gaza on Sunday after the Israeli military said “terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire” toward its troops in Rafah, killing two soldiers
Hamas said it was “unaware” of any clashes in the area under Israeli control
By evening, Israel said it had hit Hamas targets across Gaza. Hospital sources say 44 people were killed
