Following the recent ceasefire and hostage deal agreement between Israel and Hamas, there was a sense of optimism among Palestinians and Israelis alike. However, the situation quickly escalated as Gaza faced a relentless bombardment overnight, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 77 Palestinian lives, including 21 children and 25 women, as reported by Gaza’s Civil Defense.
Despite the initial setback, Israel announced a delay in the cabinet vote on the agreement, citing Hamas for allegedly not upholding certain aspects of the deal. In response, Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to the truce, emphasizing its willingness to adhere to the terms.
