Hamas Terrorists Violate Ceasefire With Rocket Attack; Israel Responds With Precision Strikes

Hamas terrorists violated on Friday the temporary ceasefire agreement that was in effect with Israel that had allowed hostages to be returned to Israel in exchange for Israel releasing convicted Palestinian criminals.

The Palestinian Islamic terrorists violated the terms of the pause by failing to provide an adequate list of hostages to release to extend the pause and by firing dozens of rockets at Israeli cities late on Thursday and early Friday. Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) also launched terrorist rocket attacks on Israel.

In response, the Israel Defense Forces announced that it was resuming combat operations against the terrorist group after they murdered 1,200 Israelis, wounded 5,300+, and kidnapped more than 240 during their unprecedented terrorist attack on Israel on October 7.
