Israeli airstrikes and artillery targeted northern Gaza on Sunday, killing eight people, as Israel and Hamas missed a ceasefire deadline aimed at ending the region's most destructive conflict in years. The delay followed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s demand for a list of three hostages Hamas pledged to release under the agreement. Hamas cited "technical field reasons" for the delay, pledging to comply soon.
The war, ignited by Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people, has left Gaza devastated. Israeli retaliation has killed nearly 47,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities. The conflict has also heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, a key Hamas backer.
Israeli military operations continued on Sunday, targeting what officials described as “terror sites.” The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service reported casualties and destruction in Gaza City and Beit Hanoun. Residents in Khan Younis briefly celebrated when the ceasefire was expected to begin, but clashes resumed.
The three-stage ceasefire, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S., includes the release of 33 hostages over six weeks in exchange for 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The agreement also involves international oversight by the Red Cross. However, uncertainty lingers over Gaza's postwar future, with billions needed for reconstruction.
Israel insists Hamas must not regain control of Gaza. Meanwhile, international outrage mounts over Gaza's devastation, with Netanyahu facing war crimes allegations at the International Criminal Court.
The war’s ripple effects are profound, dismantling Iran’s regional influence and weakening Hezbollah. Yet, the conflict remains unresolved, with fears of further escalation and long-term instability in the Middle East.
