GAZA’S fragile ceasefire appeared today to have been resumed by the Israelis.

This came after Israeli forces launched a wave of deadly strikes, after accusing Hamas fighters of killing two of its soldiers, and an Israeli security official said the transfer of aid into the territory was halted.

The military later said it resumed enforcing the ceasefire, and the official confirmed that aid deliveries into the territory were to resume today.

A little over a week has passed since the start of the United States-backed ceasefire aimed at ending two years of deadly conflict.

US President Donald Trump insisted the ceasefire remained in place and “we want to make sure it’s going to be very peaceful.”

Mr Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday that Hamas had been “quite rambunctious” but did not say whether he thought the Israeli strikes were justified, saying “it”s under review.”

US Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that he may visit Israel in the coming days.

“We’re trying to figure it out,” he told reporters, saying the administration wants to “go and check on how things are going.”

Regarding the ceasefire, he said that “there’s going to be fits and starts.”

The Gaza Government Media Office reported today that Israel has killed at least 97 Palestinians, wounded 230 since the start of the ceasefire and broken the truce agreement about 80 times.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today that he has directed the Israeli military to take “strong action” against any ceasefire violations but didn’t threaten to return to war.

Israel’s military said that militants had fired at troops in areas of Rafah city that are Israeli-controlled according to agreed-upon ceasefire lines.

Hamas said communication with its remaining units in Rafah had been cut off for months and “we are not responsible for any incidents occurring in those areas.”

Meanwhile Israel has continued to carry out air attacks on Lebanon despite a ceasefire agreement on November 27 2024.

The latest bombardment, which targeted a construction equipment business, killed a Syrian passerby, wounded seven people including two women, and destroyed millions of dollars worth of bulldozers and excavators.

Lebanon’s health ministry has reported more than 270 people killed and about 850 wounded by Israeli military actions since the ceasefire.

As of October 9, the United Nations human rights office said that 107 of those killed were civilians or non-combatants, said spokesperson Thameen al-Kheetan.

No Israelis have been killed by fire from Lebanon since the ceasefire.
