Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least nine Palestinians, continuing a pattern of military actions despite a truce with Hamas established two months ago. The Israeli military has justified its actions by claiming threats from militants, while Hamas alleges many civilian casualties. The ongoing violence signals that the cease-fire may merely be a temporary pause rather than a step towards a comprehensive peace agreement, as both sides remain on alert for escalations. Tensions also persist with Israel's actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon under a separate U.S.-brokered cease-fire.
Israeli forces killed at least nine Palestinians in Gaza in strikes on Saturday, according to the Gaza health ministry, the latest in a string of Israeli attacks on the enclave that have kept up despite a two-month-old truce with Hamas.
The steady drumbeat of Israeli airstrikes is a reminder that while Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement that paused most fighting in Gaza, a comprehensive truce is still nowhere in sight.
