Cease-Fire Ends as Israeli Military Resumes Combat in Gaza

The temporary truce between Israel and Hamas concluded Friday, with the Israeli military officially resuming combat operations in Gaza. The Israel Defense Forces cited Hamas's violation of the truce by firing towards Israel. Approximately 30 minutes after the truce expired, Israeli fighter jets targeted Hamas positions in the Gaza Strip. Despite earlier silence from mediator Qatar on a potential extension, the Israeli military reported intercepting a rocket from Gaza earlier in the day. Efforts by Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S. to broker a longer-term agreement faced challenges, with both sides grappling to find common ground on the exchange of hostages.
