The seven-day pause, which began on November 24, concluded, leading to reported incidents like Israeli aircraft over Gaza and gunfire from Israeli vehicles in the northwest of the strip.
Gaza’s Interior Ministry reported Israeli aircraft hovering over the enclave on Friday morning, heightening tensions. Additionally, Israeli vehicles opened fire in the north-western part of the strip, indicating a resumption of hostilities. The expiration of the truce has raised concerns about a potential escalation in the conflict.
Israel’s military responded to the situation by stating that its Iron Dome missile defence system intercepted a rocket launched from Gaza early on Friday.
This exchange underscores the delicate nature of the situation, with both sides now back in a state of alert, and the absence of a renewed truce leaves the region in a precarious position.
The international community closely watches the developments, hoping for diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation and restore stability in the region.
