Axios - Israel conducted airstrikes in Gaza today after Hamas militants fired anti-tank missiles at Israeli soldiers, the Israeli Defense Forces said.
- The clashes were the most serious escalation since the ceasefire began. The Trump administration is trying to prevent further incidents that could lead to the collapse of the agreement...
The IDF said the incident happened on Sunday morning local time when Hamas militants came out of a tunnel in the Rafah area, which is still mostly controlled by the Israeli military, and launched an anti-tank missile at an IDF vehicle.
- In response to the incident, the IDF conducted around 20 air strikes against Hamas targets in the Rafah area and in other parts of Gaza.
- Hamas' military wing denied any involvement in the incident in Rafah, and emphasized that it is fully committed to the ceasefire.
Israel notified the Trump administration in advance of the strikes through the U.S. command center that oversees the ceasefire, U.S. and Israeli officials said...
The agreement to end the war in Gaza is a major diplomatic achievement for President Trump. The administration feels the situation is so tenuous that only strong oversight will keep the fragile peace....
Vice President Vance, White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to arrive in Israel this week to push for the implementation of the next phase in the agreement. Witkoff and Kushner will focus on:
- Stabilizing the ceasefire to transition to the next phase of the deal.
- Continuing the return of the bodies of deceased hostages.
- Regulating the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza,
- Establishing an international stabilization force that'll deploy in Gaza and help maintain security.
- Working on plans for the construction of the "New Rafah" as a model for a Gaza not under Hamas rule. Keep reading.
