""We knew this was brewing. And the longer these guys are allowed to attack each other, the more they're going to attack each other,""
""We are not aware of any incidents or clashes taking place in the Rafah area, because these are zones under Israeli control, and contact has been severed with our groups that remained there,""
"The U.S. official said the U.S urged Israel to "respond proportionately but show restraint.""
""Nobody wants to go back to full scale war. The Israelis want to show Hamas there are consequences, without ruining the peace agreement,""
An anti-tank missile was fired at an IDF vehicle after militants emerged from a tunnel in the Rafah area, which remains largely under Israeli control. The IDF responded with about 20 airstrikes against Hamas targets in Rafah and other parts of Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas violated the ceasefire and vowed a strong response. Hamas' military wing denied involvement and said it remained committed to the ceasefire, noting severed contact with groups in Rafah. Israel notified the U.S. command center in advance; U.S. envoys coordinated with Israeli officials and urged proportionate restraint while emphasizing isolating Hamas and avoiding a return to full-scale war.
