According to the IDF, militants fired an anti-tank missile and opened fire on Israeli troops operating in the area, prompting retaliatory strikes on more than 20 suspected “terror targets,” including tunnel shafts and military structures.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered firm action, while Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Hamas would “pay a heavy price” for any further violations. Gaza’s Health Ministry reported at least eight deaths in the past 24 hours. Hamas denied involvement in the Rafah attacks, insisting it remains committed to the ceasefire and accusing Israel of breaking the truce.
The renewed violence comes days after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement under which Hamas released the last Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Both sides have since accused each other of failing to uphold the terms of the fragile truce.

I’m shocked I tell you, shocked! Well not that shocked.
Why don't I believe the British/Rothschild's Zionist Settler Colonies side of the story?
Anonymous 10.24 a.m. your slip is showing, Sticks and stones eh? You don't want to believe it is why. A bit like the idiom "Live Long and Prosper" lionised by (Jewish) Leonard Nemoy is actually a very old Jewish saying, usurped by his character in Star Trek. You dont have to believe it of course.
Now let's see...USA has colonised itself, and oh - marched into Honolulu/Hawaii. And literally "bought" Alaska from Russia. Canada likewise has colonised the indigenous population and decimated their culture. England...dont get me started. New Zealand and Australia are colonised, for better and for worse. I laugh like a drain at these "protesters" who are themselves standing on someone else's land. Russia is again on the march (but not a peep from protesters),China (marched into Tibet and Mongolia), Portugal, France (what are they still doing in Noumea? Tahiti?) The list goes on.
The Traditional Jewish homeland is Israel (er, the name Jew comes from...Judah!) You'd better believe it!
The ancient homeland of the Jewish tribes is chocker full of ancient ruins, artefacts, place names, such as Samaria and Judea, Bethlehem (Beit Lechem, Place of Bread) and Jerusalem itself was built by King David and his son Solomon. You can't scratch the ground without finding evidence of Jewish occupancy into pre-Roman times.
Zionism is alive and well, and is a legitimate and authentic habitation for the Jewish nation. Hebrew is the national language and Israeli culture and festivals is thriving.
As for "Palestine", (a Roman nomenclature back in the day for "Philistine"), lies and propaganda will never dislodge Israelis from their Eternal Home. Violence begets violence, and yes, it works both ways. Now Hamas is slughtering other gangs in Gaza. Not a peep from proetesters. Anti-Semitism is a foul stink on our streets and in our media, but Jews have been through worse, and "not being believed" is the least of their worries. Shame on New Zealand that nobody utters a peep about our babies being slaughtered, damaged and admitted to hospital with "non-accidental injuries." Israel could fit into Northland by the way. Am Yisrael Chai!
>"Zionism is alive and well, and is a legitimate and authentic habitation for the Jewish nation."
Ah, but what is 'legitimate'?
The 1947 UN plan for the new nation's borders was not implemented. The borders following the 1948-9 war became the 'de facto' borders of the State of Israel. But Zionism demands much more - the lands of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judea in their heyday. The author of this master plan was Theodor Herzl in the late 19thC, leading to the first World Zionist Congress in 1897.
Zionism has no basis in international law - quite on the contrary, it flies in the face of international law. As do those illegal settlements which even the International Court of Justice has declared to be just that.
That the writer doesn't care about international law transpires from his/her use of the term 'Eternal Home' (with caps) which indicates that his/her rationale is religious (specifically Judaic) which supposedly transcends international law.
To BV in reply 1.26 p.m.
American Vogue printed war photographer Lee Miller's photographs of the Nazi Death Camps in June 1945 in an article called "Believe It."
Just saying.
Of course "Zionism has no basis in international law" BV 1.26 pm.
Neither does Feminism or Communism. They are ideologies-! that draw their support from the disenfranchised, the marginalised and the victimised - Birthed from the loins of necessity...wasn't it Plato who said "necessity is the mother of invention?"
Anon 456: Unlike Zionism, feminism and communism don't claim rightful ownership of swathes of land. Zionism is indeed an ideology, but it is also a land claim movement. International law has a great deal to say about claims to land, national borders, and the like.
Anon 324: Sorry, but I fail to see any connection between your post and mine.
Israel and Gaza both want exactly the same thing, I dunno why they don’t get along seeings as they have that in common.
On Sunday,19 October, Hamas fired an anti-tank missile and opened gunfire at IDF soldiers positioned east of The Yellow Line - an area under Israeli control in accordance with the ceasefire agreement. Two Israeli soldiers were killed and another 3 injured. Israel's military response to this blatant violation was widely reported in isolation. Without context.
20 October terrorists again crossed the yellow line in the Shejaiya area twice. Knowing how Israel would respond.
It is noted that the Palestinian Authority has not ended it's "Pay for Slay" policy, and is known to still reward violence against Israelis.
PS BV 6.11 pm
"Communism doesn't doesn't claim rightful ownership to swathes of land?" On what planet?
Re: Anon 1238: Communism is a political ideology that strives for a global Utopia but that is not the same thing as planting a flag on someone else's land and saying "This is my land". After WW2 the USSR controlled the govts of European countries behind the Iron Curtain but it ever replaced their flags with its own. On the contrary, the recognition of national sovereignty has always been Soviet doctrine.
The false narrative that Israel has no right to exist is the genesis of the global hatred and violence that is the ugly face of Anti-Semitism.
