Israel provided the United States with evidence that Hamas was violating the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and notified that it was forced to take retaliatory action, according to the Axios publication.
The American leadership allegedly asked Israel to refrain from taking too active measures so as not to risk a truce.
Israel released footage showing Hamas throwing a bag into a hole to transport a body and then removing it in the presence of Red Cross personnel, simulating a search. Hamas subsequently fired anti-tank missiles and opened sniper fire on Israeli soldiers in Rafah.
On the morning of October 7, 2023, Hamas fighters infiltrated the border areas of southern Israel, killing and taking hostage many civilians and military personnel, and launched more than 3,000 rockets into the country. The number of victims was at least 1,400 people, most of them civilians. Many of the victims were participants in the music festival. The attack was the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.
On October 10, 2025, after two years of armed conflict, a ceasefire came into effect, under which Hamas released all living hostages and gradually returned the bodies of the dead.
