Israel launches more strikes on Gaza overnight, testing fragile truce

Tensions rise in Gaza as Israeli forces launch attacks, killing two and injuring another, despite a fragile ceasefire. The truce, brokered by the US, has been violated multiple times since its implementation three weeks ago. Hamas denies involvement in the recent Israeli soldier's death, while Israel maintains its commitment to the agreement. Hostage and prisoner swaps continue, with Hamas handing over the bodies of two Israeli hostages, but the situation remains deeply unsettled, with over 68,000 Palestinians dead and infrastructure destroyed. The conflict began after a major Hamas attack in October 2023, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis and the capture of 251 hostages. Peace and resolution still seem far off.
