After 104 deaths, Israel says Gaza 'ceasefire' back on — but for how long?

The renewed violence began after an exchange of fire in Rafah, where Israeli forces said they were attacked by Hamas militants using anti-tank missiles and sniper fire, killing one Israeli soldier. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered “powerful strikes” across Gaza. Within hours, the IDF launched a major bombardment, claiming to have hit 30 Hamas commanders. By morning, Israel declared it had “begun the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire.”
