Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the military to execute immediate and forceful strikes on the Gaza Strip, following allegations that Hamas breached a US-mediated ceasefire agreement. The decision was announced on Tuesday, October 28, after extensive security consultations. Netanyahu’s office released a statement confirming the order, emphasizing the need for a robust response to the ceasefire violation. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) subsequently launched a series of targeted attacks on Hamas positions in southern Gaza. Earlier reports indicated that Hamas had fired towards Israeli troops stationed behind the ‘yellow line,’ a demarcation established under the ceasefire terms. This incident marks at least the third violation since the ceasefire was implemented. The escalation underscores the fragile nature of the truce and raises concerns about renewed hostilities in the region.
