Israeli warplanes targeted Hamas’ rocket facility in the Gaza Strip at night in response to rockets fired from Gaza towards Israel. The Israel Defense Forces stated that the attack will damage Hamas’ strengthening and armament. They also stated that Hamas is responsible for the security violations against Israel and will pay the price for it. Two rockets were fired from Gaza to Ashkelon, which were shot down by the Iron Dome air defense system.
Gazans Celebrate Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas
Palestinians celebrated the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas after indirect talks in Egypt, marking the first step of a broader peace plan involving hostage exchanges and Israeli troop withdrawals. Crowds, including children displaced by Israeli attacks, gathered around Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital to celebrate the end of the fighting. Residents in Maghazi Refugee Camp expressed hopes for rebuilding Gaza and establishing a Palestinian state. “Thank God, the war is over. Our homes were destroyed, and our children killed. We thank everyone who helped end this war,” said Yasser Abu Hein. Others shared optimism that Gaza would “return better than before.”
Israel confirmed that the ceasefire would begin following a cabinet vote later in the day.
