Israel halts aid to Gaza ‘until further notice’ as renewed fighting tests ceasefire
The fragile ceasefire in Gaza faced its first major test Sunday as an Israeli security official announced that the transfer of aid into the territory was halted “until further notice” following a Hamas ceasefire violation. Concurrently, Israeli forces launched a wave of strikes.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity pending a formal announcement, confirmed the suspension just over a week since the start of the U.S.-proposed ceasefire aimed at ending two years of war.
Earlier on Sunday, Israel’s military reported that its troops came under fire from Hamas militants in southern Gaza, with two soldiers later confirmed killed in the area. In response, the Israeli military said it struck dozens of what it described as Hamas targets.
Health officials in Gaza reported that at least 29 Palestinians were killed across the territory, including children.
### Ceasefire Tensions and Reactions
A senior Egyptian official involved in the ceasefire negotiations told reporters that “round-the-clock” contacts were ongoing to deescalate the situation. This official also spoke on condition of anonymity.
There was no immediate comment from the United States.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed the military to take “strong action” against any ceasefire violations but stopped short of threatening a return to war.
According to the Israeli military, militants fired on troops in parts of Rafah city controlled by Israel under the ceasefire agreement. Meanwhile, Hamas accused Israel of multiple ceasefire violations and claimed it had lost contact with its remaining units in Rafah for months, denying responsibility for any incidents in those areas.
### Strikes in Gaza Raise Fears of Renewed Conflict
Palestinians expressed deep concern about the potential return to war.
“It will be a nightmare,” said Mahmoud Hashim, a father of five from Gaza City, who appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump and other mediators to prevent the ceasefire’s collapse.
An Israeli airstrike on a makeshift coffeehouse in Zawaida town in central Gaza killed at least six Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas.
Another strike near the Al-Ahly soccer club in the Nuseirat refugee camp killed at least two people. The strike hit a tent, wounding eight others, according to Al-Awda Hospital, which received the casualties.
The hospital also received the bodies of four people killed in a strike on a school sheltering displaced families in Nuseirat.
Further casualties included six killed in a tent in Nuseirat, one at a charging point west of Nuseirat, and four at a house in Bureij camp.
In Khan Younis, a strike hit a tent in the Muwasi area, killing at least four people, including a woman and two children, according to Nasser Hospital.
Another strike in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza killed two men, the Shifa Hospital reported.
### Identification of More Hostage Remains
Israel identified the remains of two hostages released by Hamas overnight. Netanyahu’s office said the bodies belonged to Ronen Engel, a father from Kibbutz Nir Oz, and Sonthaya Oakkharasri, a Thai agricultural worker from Kibbutz Be’eri.
Both were believed killed during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which initiated the ongoing war.
Engel’s wife, Karina, and two of his three children were kidnapped and later released in a ceasefire agreement in November 2023.
Over the past week, Hamas has handed over the remains of 12 hostages. The armed wing of Hamas, the Qassam Brigades, stated they found the body of a hostage and would return it on Sunday “if circumstances in the field” allowed, warning that any Israeli escalation would hinder search efforts.
### Border Crossing and Hostage Remains Dispute
Israel has pressed Hamas to fulfill its ceasefire obligation to return the remains of all 28 deceased hostages. As a result, the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt remains closed “until further notice.”
Hamas cites the war’s devastation and Israeli military control of parts of Gaza as reasons for the slow handover. Israel suspects Hamas has access to more bodies than it has returned.
Meanwhile, Israel has released 150 Palestinian bodies back to Gaza, including 15 on Sunday, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. These bodies, many in an advanced state of decomposition, have not been identified by Israel nor has their cause of death been disclosed.
Currently, only 25 have been identified by the Health Ministry, which posts photos of the bodies online to assist families.
Previously, Israel and Hamas exchanged 20 living hostages for over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
### Next Steps in Ceasefire Negotiations
A Hamas delegation, led by chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, arrived in Cairo to follow up on the ceasefire’s implementation with mediators and other Palestinian groups.
The next phases are expected to focus on disarming Hamas, Israeli withdrawal from additional controlled areas in Gaza, and future governance of the devastated territory.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Kassem stated on Saturday that the second phase of negotiations “requires national consensus,” adding that Hamas has initiated discussions to “solidify its positions.”
The U.S. plan suggests establishing an internationally backed authority to govern Gaza. Kassem reiterated that Hamas will not participate in the postwar governing body, instead calling for a body of Palestinian technocrats to manage day-to-day affairs.
“For now, government agencies in Gaza continue to perform their duties, as the (power) vacuum is very dangerous,” he said.
### Status of the Rafah Border Crossing
Before the war, the Rafah crossing was the only one not controlled by Israel. It has been closed since May 2024, after Israel assumed control of the Gaza side.
A full reopening would facilitate medical treatment, travel, and family visits for Palestinians, many of whom have family connections in Egypt.
On Sunday, the Palestinian Authority’s Interior Ministry in Ramallah announced procedures for Palestinians wishing to enter or exit Gaza through Rafah.
Palestinian embassy staff in Cairo will issue temporary travel documents to those leaving Gaza. Those seeking to enter Gaza must apply at the embassy.
### Casualties and Humanitarian Toll
The Israel-Hamas conflict has killed more than 68,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. The ministry maintains detailed casualty records considered generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts.
Israel disputes these figures but has not presented its own official count.
Thousands more remain missing, according to the Red Cross.
The Hamas-led militants killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 251 during the October 7 attack that sparked the war.

Israel strikes Gaza after it says Hamas attacked across ceasefire line
**Israel Strikes Targets in Gaza Amid First Test of U.S.-Brokered Ceasefire**
*TEL AVIV, Israel* — Israel struck targets in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday after reporting that its troops came under fire from Hamas militants. This marked the first major test of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire aimed at halting more than two years of war.
According to the Israeli military, members of the Palestinian group used an RPG against Israeli forces, prompting airstrikes and artillery responses. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held consultations with security officials and directed the military to take “strong action” against any ceasefire violations. However, he did not threaten to escalate back to full war.
Hamas denied involvement in the clashes in Rafah, located in southern Gaza.

### Hostage Remains Identified as Ceasefire Talks Advance
The strikes coincided with Israel identifying the remains of two hostages released by Hamas overnight. The Palestinian group also announced the initiation of talks to launch the second phase of ceasefire negotiations.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office confirmed the bodies were those of Ronen Engel, a father of three from Kibbutz Nir Oz, and Sonthaya Oakkharasri, a Thai agricultural worker killed at Kibbutz Be’eri. Both had been believed killed during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and their bodies were taken to Gaza.
Notably, Engel’s wife, Karina, and two of their three children were kidnapped during the attack but released in a November 2023 ceasefire agreement.

### Rafah Border Crossing Remains Closed Amid Hostage Remains Dispute
Israel announced it would keep the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt closed “until further notice.” Netanyahu’s office stated that reopening Rafah hinges on Hamas fulfilling its ceasefire obligations, including returning the remains of all 28 deceased hostages.
In the past week, Hamas has handed over the remains of 13 bodies, 12 identified as hostages. Israel noted one released body did not belong to a hostage.
Meanwhile, Israel has returned 150 Palestinian bodies to Gaza, including 15 on Sunday, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. The ministry posted photos of dozens of bodies online to assist families searching for loved ones. Many of the bodies were decomposed, blackened, and some lacked limbs and teeth. Only 25 have been identified so far.
—
### Ongoing Negotiations and Ceasefire Challenges
Following an exchange involving 20 living hostages for more than 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, the handover of deceased hostages’ remains and prisoners remains a critical issue in the ceasefire’s first stage.
Another key issue involves scaling up humanitarian aid and reopening the Rafah border crossing to facilitate aid delivery and the movement of people.
Future ceasefire stages will focus on disarming Hamas, Israeli withdrawal from additional Gaza areas, and the establishment of governance for the devastated territory.
—
### Ceasefire Clashes in Rafah
On Sunday, the Israeli military reported militants fired at troops in Rafah, within Israeli-controlled areas as per the ceasefire lines. No injuries were reported.
Hamas denied involvement. Both sides have accused each other of ceasefire violations amid ongoing tensions.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Kassem said that negotiations for the second phase have begun but require national consensus. He added that Hamas has started discussions to solidify its positions but offered no further details.
In line with U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan, future talks will include disarming Hamas and establishing an internationally backed authority to govern Gaza. Kassem emphasized Hamas will not participate in the future ruling authority.
He noted that Hamas-run government bodies continue day-to-day governance to avoid a power vacuum, which he described as “very dangerous.” Kassem called for establishing a Community Support Committee composed of Palestinian technocrats to manage affairs until an administrative committee representing all factions is formed.
—
### Status of Rafah Border Crossing
Israel again kept the Rafah crossing closed on Sunday to pressure Hamas for the return of more hostages’ bodies. While Hamas claims it needs special equipment to locate additional remains, Israel believes Hamas has access to more bodies than it has returned.
Before the war, Rafah was the only crossing not controlled by Israel. It has remained closed since May 2024, when Israel took control of the Gaza side.
Reopening the crossing fully would allow Palestinians access to medical treatment, travel, and visits to family in Egypt, where tens of thousands of Palestinians reside.
The Palestinian Authority’s Interior Ministry in Ramallah announced new procedures for Palestinians wishing to use the crossing. Palestinian Embassy staff from Cairo will issue temporary travel documents for those exiting Gaza. Those entering Gaza must apply at the embassy in Cairo for entry documents.

### Casualty Figures and Conflict Overview
The Israel-Hamas war has reportedly killed more than 68,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry. U.N. agencies and independent experts view these figures as reliable; however, Israel disputes the numbers and has not provided its own toll.
Thousands more remain missing, the Red Cross reports.
Hamas militants killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 251 during the October 7 attack that ignited the war.
—
### Hamas Rejects U.S. Claims of Planned Attack
On Sunday, Hamas rejected a U.S. State Department claim alleging credible reports of an imminent planned Hamas attack on Gaza residents.
The U.S. statement warned such an attack would violate the ceasefire and undermine mediation progress.
Hamas called the claim “false allegations,” accused Israel of supporting armed groups in Israeli-controlled areas, and urged the U.S. to pressure Israel to halt such support.
Fighting has erupted between Hamas-led fighters and at least two armed groups in eastern Gaza City accused of looting aid and collaborating with Israel. Hamas has publicly executed several suspects, drawing widespread condemnation.
The Hamas-run Interior Ministry said its forces are working to restore law and order in areas vacated by Israel following the ceasefire.

US warns Hamas planning attack on Palestinian civilians in apparent violation of Gaza ceasefire
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The U.S. State Department announced on Saturday that it has received “credible reports” indicating that Hamas may violate the ceasefire by launching an attack on Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
If such an attack occurs, it “would constitute a direct and grave violation” of the agreement brokered by President Donald Trump aimed at ending the two-year conflict between Israel and Hamas, the statement said. No further details were disclosed regarding the potential attack.
“Should Hamas proceed with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire,” the State Department added.
Earlier, President Trump warned on social media that “if Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.” However, the U.S. president later clarified that he would not send American troops into Gaza despite his earlier threat.
“It’s not going to be us,” Trump told reporters. “We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily, but under our auspices.”
This shift in tone followed Trump’s initial nonchalant remarks about Hamas killings, during which he stated they had taken out “a couple of gangs that were very bad.”

Israel’s military says Hamas has handed over ‘two coffins of deceased hostages’ to the Red Cross in Gaza
CAIRO (AP) — Israel’s military has announced that Hamas has handed over two coffins containing the bodies of deceased hostages to the Red Cross in Gaza.
The Latest: Israel identifies remains of 2 more hostages
**Israel Identifies Remains of Two More Hostages Returned from Gaza**
Israel’s National Institute of Forensic Medicine on Thursday identified the remains of two hostages returned from Gaza, as officials and families urged Hamas to hand over the bodies of those still held. The identified remains belong to Nova music festivalgoer Inbar Hayman and Sergeant Muhammad al-Atresh, both killed in the fighting on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants attacked Israel, igniting the war.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office stated that Israel remains “determined, committed, and working tirelessly to bring back all our fallen hostages for proper burial in their homeland.”
Since Monday’s exchange, Hamas has returned 10 bodies, nine of which Israel’s military has confirmed as hostages. Israel reported there were 28 hostages in Gaza before the exchange. In return for the release of the hostages, Israel freed around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees on Monday.
—
**Challenges in Recovering Remains Amid Gaza’s Destruction**
Hamas and the Red Cross have highlighted that recovering the remains has been challenging due to the extensive destruction in Gaza. Hamas has also informed mediators that some bodies are located in areas controlled by Israeli troops, complicating recovery efforts.

**UN Humanitarian Chief Visits Key Crossing to Boost Aid Deliveries**
On Thursday, the United Nations’ humanitarian chief visited a vital Israel-controlled crossing from Egypt into the Gaza Strip. The route serves as a critical lifeline for transporting food, medicine, tents, and other essential aid to ease hunger, disease, and collapsing sanitation systems in Gaza.
“This route is a vital lifeline for food, medicine, tents, and other lifesaving aid. We want to see it full of trucks, as part of a massive surge of aid following the peace deal,” said U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher via X.
However, Fletcher also cautioned that hopes raised by last week’s ceasefire could fade amid setbacks to aid delivery. The World Food Program described the situation as unpredictable. Fletcher urged Hamas to return the bodies of deceased hostages and called on Israel to honor the agreement by allowing the promised surge of humanitarian aid.

**Turkey Appoints Special Envoy to Coordinate Gaza Aid**
Turkey has appointed Ambassador Mehmet Gulluoglu as Coordinator for Humanitarian Aid to Palestine, tasked with coordinating humanitarian efforts and ensuring rapid aid delivery to Gaza. Already on the ground, Gulluoglu and his team will assess urgent needs, coordinate with U.N. agencies, support their operations, and liaise with authorities in Egypt and Jordan to manage logistics.
The envoy will also focus on enhancing medical support and oversee the evacuation of patients requiring urgent care.
In addition, Turkey’s emergency response authority, AFAD, has prepared to deploy an 81-person search and rescue team to assist in recovering missing bodies and removing debris, according to Turkish media reports. Turkish officials, however, declined to confirm these reports.
Since the conflict began in October 2023, Turkey has delivered 102,000 tons of aid to Gaza by sea and air. Following the ceasefire, an additional 865-ton shipment was dispatched by sea on October 14.
—
**Red Cross Facilitates Transfer of Remains**
Israel received the remains of two more hostages on Wednesday, transferred by the Red Cross from Hamas. Following the arrival of the two coffins in Israel, the military cautioned that formal identification was still pending.
“The parties must endeavor to facilitate the return of the remains of the deceased to their families. The ICRC can fulfill its functions as a neutral intermediary only through the cooperation of all actors, and within the framework of the current agreement,” the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) stated.
Israeli health and forensic authorities are currently responsible for confirming the identities of the deceased.

Trump arrives in Egypt for Gaza Summit, urges Israel to seize chance for peace
**Trump’s Whirlwind Middle East Trip Aims to Cement Fragile Hope for Peace**
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s whirlwind visit to the Middle East included a high-profile speech at the Knesset in Jerusalem and participation in a regional summit, marking a fragile moment of hope for ending over two years of conflict between Israel and Hamas.
More than two dozen countries were expected to be represented at the summit, co-hosted by Trump and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was invited but declined to attend, with his office citing proximity to a Jewish holiday as the reason for his absence, according to AP.
Despite lingering questions over next steps in Gaza — which has been devastated during the conflict — Trump appeared determined to seize this opportunity to foster regional stability.
—
### “You’ve Won” — Trump’s Message to Israel
Addressing Israeli lawmakers at the Knesset, which welcomed him warmly, Trump declared, “You’ve won. Now it is time to translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East.”
He pledged U.S. support to help rebuild Gaza and urged Palestinians to “turn forever from the path of terror and violence.” Trump emphasized, “After tremendous pain and death and hardship, now is the time to concentrate on building their people up instead of trying to tear Israel down.”
Turning to Iran, Trump extended a gesture of diplomacy, stating that “the hand of friendship and cooperation is always open,” despite earlier tensions — including the U.S. bombing of three nuclear sites amid Iran’s brief war with Israel earlier this year.
—
### Summit and Hostage Release
Trump arrived in Egypt hours late after speeches at the Knesset ran longer than expected. Commenting on the delay, he joked, “They might not be there by the time I get there, but we’ll give it a shot,” teasing Israeli leaders for their lengthy speeches.
The summit coincided with the release of 20 hostages on Monday, part of an agreement aimed at ending the war that began on October 7, 2023, after Hamas killed over 1,000 Israelis. Trump met with some of the hostages’ families at the Knesset, where a woman told him, “Your name will be remembered to generations.”
Throughout his visit, Israeli lawmakers repeatedly chanted Trump’s name and gave standing ovations. Some attendees wore red hats reminiscent of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” caps, with slogans reading “Trump, The Peace President.”
—
### Netanyahu’s Praise and Trump’s Unexpected Call for Pardon
Although Netanyahu did not attend the summit, he hailed Trump remotely, calling him “the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House,” and vowed to collaborate closely in pursuit of peace.
“Mr. President, you are committed to this peace. I am committed to this peace. And together, Mr. President, we will achieve this peace,” Netanyahu said.
In an unexpected move during his speech, Trump called on the Israeli president to pardon Netanyahu, whom he described as “one of the greatest” wartime leaders. Netanyahu currently faces corruption charges, though several court hearings were postponed during the conflict with Hamas.
Trump also used the occasion to settle political scores by criticizing Democratic predecessors and acknowledging top donor Miriam Adelson, who was present in the audience.
—
### The Delicate Road Ahead: Gaza Ceasefire and Regional Rebuilding
Despite the ceasefire, the situation in the region remains fragile. Israel and Hamas are still implementing the initial phase of Trump’s peace plan, which includes releasing the remaining hostages held by Hamas, freeing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, a surge of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza’s main cities.
Trump emphasized the window of opportunity for reshaping the region and resetting strained relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors. “The war is over, OK? I think people are tired of it,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One, expressing confidence that the ceasefire would hold.
He credited his Republican administration’s strong support for Israel’s efforts against Iranian proxies like Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon as key to this momentum.
The White House noted growing momentum as Arab and Muslim states increasingly focus on resolving the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with some deepening ties with the U.S.
—
### Vision for Gaza’s Future: From “Demolition Site” to Rebuilding
Back in February, Trump predicted Gaza could be redeveloped into what he called “the Riviera of the Middle East.” However, during his recent trip, he was more cautious.
“I don’t know about the Riviera for a while. It’s blasted. This is like a demolition site,” Trump said. He expressed hope to visit Gaza one day, saying, “I’d like to put my feet on it, at least.”
The parties have yet to agree on Gaza’s postwar governance, reconstruction, and Israel’s demand that Hamas disarm. Negotiations remain delicate, and Israel has indicated it may resume military operations if its demands are not met.
Much of Gaza remains in ruins, and its roughly 2 million residents continue to face desperate humanitarian conditions.
—
### Ceasefire Enforcement and Humanitarian Aid
Under the ceasefire deal, Israel has agreed to reopen five border crossings, easing the flow of food and supplies into Gaza, where parts of the population are experiencing famine.
Approximately 200 U.S. troops will assist in monitoring the ceasefire, working alongside partner nations, non-governmental organizations, and private-sector players to help stabilize the situation.

Trump’s trip underscores a critical juncture for peace efforts in the Middle East, carrying both cautious optimism and the weighty challenge of rebuilding a war-torn region. The coming weeks and months will reveal whether this fragile hope can be transformed into lasting peace and prosperity.

Benjamin Netanyahu threatens to break the peace deal in Gaza
Tens of thousands of Palestinians headed back to the heavily destroyed northern Gaza Strip on Friday as a US-brokered ceasefire came into effect. The deal has raised hopes for an end to the Israel-Hamas war.
All the remaining hostages are set to be released within days. However, questions remain about who will govern Gaza as Israeli troops gradually pull back, and whether Hamas will disarm, as called for in US President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who unilaterally ended a ceasefire in March, hinted that Israel might renew its offensive if Hamas does not give up its weapons.
The latest truce, nevertheless, marks a key step toward ending a ruinous two-year war that was triggered by Hamas’ 2023 attack on Israel. The fighting has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and displaced around 90 percent of the Gaza population of approximately 2 million people, often multiple times.
In a televised statement on Friday, Netanyahu said the next stages would see Hamas disarm and Gaza demilitarized. “If this is achieved the easy way, so be it. If not, it will be achieved the hard way. Hamas will be disarmed and Gaza will be demilitarized,” he said.
The Israeli military has stated it will continue to operate defensively from the roughly 50 percent of Gaza it still controls after pulling back to agreed-upon lines.

Reporter’s Notebook: The Landscape of the Gaza Border Two Years After the October 7 Massacre
On October 7, 2023, this road was strewn with burned vehicles, cars riddled with bullet holes, and lifeless bodies. The scene was a stark reminder of the brutal attack when Hamas terrorists infiltrated southern Israel, resulting in the massacre of more than 1,200 people.
Fast forward to Tuesday, and all was quiet. A memorial ceremony was held at the Nova Festival to mark two years since that tragic day. The event served as a solemn remembrance of the lives lost and the resilience of those affected by the tragedy.
