Over 400 strikes have been carried out by Israel in Gaza in the past 48 hours after Hamas allegedly broke the truce they had agreed upon last week.
Since the resumption of the war, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted hundreds of bombardments, while Hamas announced rocket barrages against Israeli towns and cities, including Tel Aviv.
Israel also conducted airstrikes in the Nuseirat refugee camp late Saturday night (December 2), killing at least 13 people, according to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa.
The Daily Mail also reported that the truce, brokered by Qatar and supported by Egypt and the United States, allowed for the release of 80 Israeli hostages in exchange for around 240 Palestinian prisoners.
What's Next After the Truce
According to Israeli authorities, Hamas had tried to fire a rocket before the end of the truce, as well as failing to produce a list of further hostages for release.
Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant told reporters that fresh military action was needed to force Hamas to "pay a heavy price," which meant the release of hostages.
In the meantime, Hamas deputy chief Saleh al Arouri told Al Jazeera that there will be no further exchanges of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners until "the war on Gaza is over."
Meanwhile, Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said that Jerusalem needed a "security envelope" around the coastal areas to prevent Gazans from accessing the border fence on foot.
On the other hand, Netanyahu revealed that his country planned to create a buffer zone within Gaza to stop Hamas from repeating the October 7 attacks.
