Israel’s intense bombardment of the Gaza Strip this week marked the most serious challenge yet for a fragile, U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

President Donald Trump voiced support for Israel's actions after the U.S. ally carried out strikes across the enclave and traded accusations of truce violations with Hamas.

U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff has sparked controversy after claiming Hamas privately agreed to disarm ahead of the October 9 ceasefire. Witkoff said the group told him and Jared Kushner it would surrender weapons under a U.

The United States on Thursday lifted an embargo on defense trade with Cambodia, after President Donald Trump oversaw the signing of a ceasefire deal between Cambodia and neighboring Thailand last week.

Israel says it has "renewed enforcement of the ceasefire" after deadly airstrikes in Gaza that tested the U.S.-brokered peace deal.

Israel's military has begun striking the Gaza Strip again, as Israel and Hamas traded blame for violating the ceasefire brokered by President Trump.

The strike is the latest in a series of preemptive Israeli actions designed to prevent Hezbollah from rehabilitating the extensive infrastructure damaged during recent hostilities. The IDF confirmed carrying out an airstrike targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in the Lebanese city of Tyre on Thursday.
