The fragile truce in the Middle East has collapsed as Israeli military forces carried out targeted strikes against Hamas in Gaza. According to an Israeli military spokesperson, the attacks followed allegations that Hamas violated the ceasefire agreement. The IDF confirmed operations in southern Gaza, citing incidents where militants fired anti-tank missiles and gunfire at Israeli troops. “In response, the IDF has begun striking in the area to eliminate the threat and dismantle tunnel shafts and military structures used for terrorist activity,” a statement said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office directed security officials to act forcefully against attacks, while Hamas denied knowledge of any breaches, asserting continued adherence to the ceasefire terms. Additional strikes are possible as Israeli forces target militants linked to separate assaults on their positions.
