Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Ceasefire in Gaza Under Strain After Deadly Rafah Attack

Ceasefire in Gaza Under Strain After Deadly Rafah Attack. Tensions flared in Gaza on Sunday as Israel launched new air strikes, accusing Hamas of violating the US-brokered ceasefire. The Israeli military said Hamas fighters fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire at troops in Rafah, killing two soldiers. In response, Israel struck targets across Gaza, with health officials reporting at least 44 people killed. Hamas denied involvement, saying it had no contact with fighters in that area. But by evening, the Israeli army announced it would "renew enforcement of the ceasefire" while responding firmly to any attack. The escalation comes just 10 days after the ceasefire began, which included troop withdrawals and prisoner exchanges. President Trump, speaking in Washington, insisted the ceasefire remains in place, calling the violence the work of "some rebels within Hamas.” US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected in Israel soon to keep the deal from collapsing. This is now the most serious test of the fragile truce since it was signed.
