Israel and Hamas resume fighting as truce expires
A Temporary Truce Ends Between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas Militants
A highly anticipated temporary truce between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas militants, which was set to expire at 7 a.m. on Friday, has now come to an end. Unfortunately, neither side has announced an agreement to extend the ceasefire.
In the tense hour leading up to the truce’s expiration, Israel reported intercepting a rocket fired from Gaza, while Hamas-affiliated media outlets documented the unsettling sounds of explosions and gunfire within the Palestinian enclave.
This seven-day pause, initially starting on November 24 and extended twice, had served as a crucial opportunity for the exchange of numerous hostages held in Gaza for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Additionally, it had facilitated the much-needed entry of humanitarian aid into the enclave.
