“Israel said it had resumed a truce with Hamas in Gaza after heavy fighting over the weekend, with the sides accusing each other of breaching a deal brokered by US President Donald Trump. Around 9:30 p.m. Israel time on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces said it had ‘begun renewed enforcement of the ceasefire’ and warned it would ‘respond firmly to any violation.’ Israel launched strikes against Hamas in Gaza and suspended aid shipments on Sunday after blaming the Iran-backed militant group for an ambush that killed two soldiers in the southern part of the strip. … Hamas said it remained committed to the truce and that it had lost contact with, and therefore couldn’t be held responsible for, any Palestinian fighters operating in Rafah. Trump suggested that could be true.” (10/20/25)
