"Israel launched airstrikes in the Gaza Strip and blamed Hamas for what it called a significant Palestinian ambush of its troops, even as trouble-shooters assembled in an effort to keep President Donald Trump's peace plan on track. Signaling Washington's focus on preserving the ceasefire secured on Oct. 10, an Israeli official said Trump's vice president, JD Vance, was expected to accompany White House mediators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to the region this week. The US embassy in Jerusalem had no immediate comment."
"The partial implementation to date has seen Israeli troops and tanks redeploy to a "yellow line" that still leaves more than half of the shattered enclave under their control. That's enabled Palestinian civilians in the rest to begin picking up the pieces with a measure of safety, while Hamas returned living hostages to Israel as required by the deal. Hamas says at least 27 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces over the last week; Israeli officials said troops fired"
Israeli forces conducted airstrikes across Gaza after accusing Hamas of staging a significant ambush and after reported anti-armor rocket and gunfire in Rafah. US envoys, with JD Vance expected to join mediators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, concentrated on preserving the Oct. 10 ceasefire linked to the Trump-backed plan. The plan aims for Hamas disarmament and transfer of governance to a foreign-supervised Palestinian administration. Partial implementation has seen Israeli troops redeploy to a "yellow line," leaving more than half of Gaza under Israeli control while civilians in other areas begin limited recovery.
