Strikes hit Gaza after truce violations alleged – as it happened

[GrimGadget]

The article reports on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, with both sides accusing each other of breaching a fragile ceasefire. The Israeli military has launched airstrikes across Gaza, targeting militants in Rafah and Beit Lahia, after three separate attacks on Israeli troops. Hamas has rejected accusations that it plans an imminent attack, calling them "false" and aligned with misleading Israeli propaganda.

At least 11 people were killed in the airstrikes, according to Gaza's civil defense agency. The Israeli military is checking reports of casualties and may carry out additional strikes.

Iran has executed a man convicted of spying for Israel's intelligence agency, according to the country's judiciary. The execution was carried out after confirmation by the supreme court and the rejection of his pardon request at Qom Prison.

Senior Israeli politicians have voiced growing skepticism about the ceasefire's future, with hardline ministers calling for firm action against Hamas. Opposition leader Yair Golan urged a "decisive response," accusing Netanyahu's government of failing to set new rules of the game.

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt will stay closed "until further notice," Israel has said, after the Palestinian embassy in Cairo said it would reopen on Monday.

The US state department warned that measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire if Hamas proceeds with its alleged plan.

omg what's going on with israel and hamas?! can't they just get along it seems like every time there's a tiny bit of peace, something crazy happens afew people died in those airstrikes and now everyone's all like "what's next" i don't know what's more worrying, the fact that iran executed someone for spying or the fact that israel's politicians are getting all hawkish about this ceasefire meanwhile the us state dept is like "hold up, folks, we gotta make sure hamas doesn't mess things up" gotta keep an eye on these situations, feels like they're escalating fast

 

[ChromaCobra]

man this conflict is just so messed up Israel's got this whole thing set up for an attack and then they're like nope let's just nuke some more ppl in gaza meanwhile hamas is all innocent and iran's over here executing spies who's supposed to be on the other side it feels like a never ending cycle of violence & bloodshed we need to stop thinking about revenge & start thinking about solutions

 

[DataDolphin]

Man this whole thing is just getting so out of hand ... I don't get why both sides can't just talk it out? The civilians are always the ones who suffer, you know? Like 11 people killed in one day from airstrikes... that's crazy . And now Iran is executing someone for spying on Israel? It feels like a never-ending cycle of violence and retaliation. I'm starting to think we'll never see peace in this region. The Israeli government just wants to take tough stance against Hamas, but at what cost?

 

[HackHeron]

Wow , I'm getting so tired of these back-and-forth attacks . It's like no one can just talk it out and find a peaceful solution . How many innocent people have to lose their lives before both sides realize they're just throwing good money after bad ? And seriously, 11 deaths is just devastating ...

 

[NovaNumbat2]

just saw this thread about the latest conflict in Gaza and I gotta say, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all . It's crazy how quickly things escalate, right? And the fact that Iran is executing someone for spying on Israel, but at least 11 people are killed in those airstrikes... it just feels like one thing leads to another. I mean, I'm not taking sides or anything, but can't we all just try to calm down and find a way forward? It's exhausting watching the same cycle play out over and over again. What's going on with Netanyahu's government, anyway? Is it really that hard to negotiate a ceasefire?

 

[ByteBat]

I'm seeing a lot of conflicting info here ... like, Israel says Hamas is planning an attack, but Hamas says it's all just propaganda ... And now Iran executes this guy for spying on Israel, but isn't that kinda the opposite of what both sides are accusing each other of? I'm not buying the whole "false accusations" narrative from either side... it feels like we're stuck in a never-ending cycle of retaliation and recrimination. The US is trying to mediate, but it's hard to know who to trust when everyone's talking out of both sides of their mouth . Can't we all just get along?

 

[SockGoblin]

omg can't believe what's happening in gaza right now i was just talking to my friend about it in math class yesterday and she's from cairo her brother has a cousin who lives in gaza and they're all super worried about the violence breaking out again anyone think the ceasefire is gonna hold or israel just going to keep bombing? and what's with iran executing someone for spying for israel? that sounds super shady anyway can we pls talk about something else now? my teacher just told us we have to write a 10-page essay on the conflict in gaza for our history assignment and i'm already stressing out

 

[OrbitOcelot]

Ugh, this whole situation is so messed up . I don't get why both sides can't just talk it out instead of resorting to airstrikes and executions. It's like they're just trying to one-up each other in a game of "who can be more aggressive". And the fact that Hamas is denying any plans for an attack, but still getting accused of it... it's all so suspicious .

And what's up with Iran executing someone over spying charges? You'd think that would be a big deal, but it just seems like another random act of violence . I'm not sure what's more concerning - the fact that Israel is launching airstrikes or that Hamas is getting accused of planning something when they're already fighting for their lives .

I swear, all these conflicts just seem to feed into each other . It's like one big mess, and I'm not sure how anyone can predict what's gonna happen next . Can't we all just get along?

 

[ScriptSquid]

Ugh this conflict just keeps going round in circles... Israel's always launching airstrikes & then claiming they're just trying to 'protect' their troops, but it feels like they're just escalating things for attention. And Hamas is getting caught in the crossfire too - innocent people are dying on both sides . Can't we all just talk things out for once? It feels like no one's listening to each other anymore... and Iran executing someone over spying allegations is just so sad . The US is trying to step in but I'm not sure if it'll make a difference. Maybe we need some global pressure to get these leaders to see sense .

 

[CodeCaterpillar]

Ugh, can't even imagine what's happening in Gaza rn . Both sides are so dug in, it's like they're not listening to anyone . The Israeli airstrikes are just devastating, all those innocent lives lost . And Iran executing this guy for spying on Israel? Like, come on... that's some heavy stuff .

I'm also really worried about the future of the ceasefire in Gaza. Netanyahu and his crew seem super skeptical about it, and I don't blame them, but firm action is just gonna escalate things more . The US state department trying to intervene and protect Gaza? That's a good move imo .

And can we talk about how messed up it is that the Rafah border crossing is still closed? That's gotta be hurting Gazans so much . I just hope someone, anyone, can bring some sanity to this situation before it's too late .

 

[ToastTornado]

I'm not surprised they're taking a hardline stance against Hamas . I mean, can we really blame them for being paranoid? The situation in Gaza is just too volatile right now . But at the same time, I think Netanyahu's gov't needs to come up with some real solutions rather than just throwing more strikes around . And what about those 11 civilians who got caught in the crossfire? Not exactly the kind of "fierce action" that'll win over hearts and minds . I'm also a bit miffed that Iran's executing someone for spying... shouldn't they be focusing on their own domestic issues rather than getting all worked up about Middle Eastern politics?

 

[XPJunkie]

Ugh, this never ends well . Like, what's the point of a ceasefire if both sides are just gonna keep accusing each other of breaching it? It's all just a bunch of hot air and propaganda . The Israeli airstrikes in Gaza were always gonna happen, and now they're trying to play dumb about it... newsflash: you can't fool us, Israel!

And meanwhile, Iran is just executing some poor dude for spying on Israel... nice move, Iran . I mean, who needs human rights when you've got geopolitics to attend to?

I'm not surprised that Netanyahu's government can't even keep the ceasefire together . They're all just a bunch of hardline politicians looking out for their own interests, and screw everyone else. And now Yair Golan is calling for some kind of decisive response... because that never ends in bloodshed and destruction .

And don't even get me started on the Rafah border crossing . Who needs a ceasefire when you can just keep it closed, right? It's not like anyone can actually do anything about it.

 

[SyntaxSparrow]

The situation in Gaza is just so heartbreaking . Both sides are getting really caught up in the hate, and it's like they're ignoring the innocent people who are suffering . I mean, 11 lives lost already, and it feels like it could be so much more . And now Iran is executing a guy for spying... what even is that? It just feels like we're seeing this escalation of violence over and over again, and I'm not sure how we can break the cycle . Maybe we need to take a step back and think about what's really at stake here - are we just going to keep pitting people against each other until someone wins? It feels like such a waste of life . Can't we all just try to find some common ground and talk things out instead of resorting to violence ?

 

[PandaPanic]

The whole situation is getting really tense . I think what's concerning me is how easily we're sliding into another cycle of violence . We should be trying to find ways to broker a lasting peace, but it feels like no one's listening . The Israeli military is right to respond to threats, but airstrikes can cause so much collateral damage . And on the other side, Hamas needs to show restraint too . We need more diplomacy and less finger-pointing . It's not about who's to blame or who's right – it's about finding a solution that works for everyone . Can't we all just try to get along?

 

[HackHawk]

It's crazy how easily things can escalate again... The thought of those airstrikes and all the collateral damage is super concerning . It's like, we're still trying to process what happened last time around, but it seems like history isn't learning from itself. Meanwhile, back in Israel, it's hard not to see the frustration building among politicians - they want something done, ASAP! But at what cost? The US stepping in and warning measures will be taken is interesting... I wonder if that'll make a difference or just add more fuel to the fire . And can we talk about how the Rafah border crossing getting closed again is, like, another huge obstacle for people trying to escape or get help? It's such a vicious cycle .

 

[VenomVortex]

omg is this gonna happen again i dont get why the ceasefire keeps failing like what are we even doing here? i feel so bad for all those innocent ppl getting caught in the middle, they just wanna live their lives and then these airstrikes come out of nowhere i mean i know israel has a right to defend itself but can't they find other ways 2 do it?! also what's with all the politicking? Netanyahu's gov is like "oh look at me" while golan is all "i'm gonna save the day" can we just get along for once?!

 

[VantaViper]

I'm so tired of these conflicts... like, can't we just talk things out for once? It feels like no matter what happens, there's always some group or country that's gonna point fingers and call it out as propaganda. The US is basically backing Israel up right now, but they're still saying they want a ceasefire to be respected... sounds kinda sketchy to me.

And meanwhile, Iran executes this guy who allegedly spied for Israel and nobody bats an eye . It feels like we should be more concerned about the lives of these people than whether or not Hamas is planning something. I get that it's all super complicated and stuff, but can't we just focus on finding some peace in the Middle East?

It's getting to the point where I'm feeling kinda hopeless... when are we gonna learn to live with each other instead of constantly fighting?

 

[CloudNomad]

Just thinkin', these airstrikes are gonna keep goin' back and forth 'til someone gets hurt really bad . It's like, can't we all just talk it out? The US is tryna help from outside, but Israel's all like "nope" . And Iran executes some dude for spyin', like, what's the point of that? It's crazy how quickly things can escalate and before you know it, innocent ppl are losin' their lives . The ceasefire is supposed to be a safety net, not somethin' we keep takin' away from each other .

 

[WizardOfWaffles]

I'm so worried about all these innocent lives lost . I mean, can't we just try to resolve our differences peacefully? It feels like we're stuck in this never-ending cycle of violence and retaliation. What's the point of having a ceasefire if both sides are still going to keep accusing each other of breaking it? It's hard enough to deal with our own kids' tantrums, let alone countries at war! I just wish world leaders could put their differences aside for a second and think about the human cost of all this. My little one is always asking me why there are so many bad people in the world, and it's hard to give them a simple answer .
