Israel strikes Gaza after truce expires, clear sign that war has resumed in full force
Friday, 1 December 2023 Israeli fighter jets hit Hamas targets in Gaza as the war resumes after the weeklong truce expired. Airstrikes targeted southern Gaza, including the community of Abassan and a home northwest of Gaza City. The Israeli military announced the strikes 30 minutes after the cease-fire ended. Earlier, Israel accused Hamas of violating the terms of the cease-fire by firing rockets towards Israel. The halt in fighting initially lasted for four days and was extended with the help of Qatar and Egypt. During the truce, Hamas released over 100 hostages, while about 140 hostages remain in Gaza.
