In response to Hamas’s Aqsa Flood operation, Israel heavily bombarded Gaza. Calls for a ceasefire were made to prevent the humanitarian crisis in the region from deepening further. After long negotiations, a 4-day ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement was signed between the two sides last Friday. At the end of the 4-day period, the ceasefire was extended for 2 more days.
Ceasefire STATEMENT FROM EGYPT
In the statements made by Israel and Hamas yesterday, it was stated that they had agreed to extend the ceasefire for 1 more day. While it was wondered whether the ceasefire would be extended again, the expected statement came from Egypt in the morning. Egyptian officials announced that Israel and Hamas extended the ceasefire for one more day.
THE WAR HAS STARTED AGAIN
However, after the statement of the Egyptian authorities, a different development took place. The Israeli army announced that they started to attack the Gaza Strip again, citing Hamas’ violation of the ceasefire.
