Israel said Hamas violated Gaza’s delicate ceasefire Sunday, launching air and artillery strikes and halting aid deliveries “until further notice.” The military cited RPG and sniper fire at troops in an Israeli‑controlled area; no injuries were reported. Hamas denied involvement and reaffirmed commitment to the truce. Hospital sources reported at least 38 dead as Israel struck dozens of targets, including airstrikes in the south before sunset. Israel threatened to keep Rafah crossing closed pending the return of all deceased hostages’ remains, as two were identified, while second‑phase talks began under President Trump’s 20‑point plan.
