A previous ceasefire came into effect in mid-January, but broke down two months later.
The agreement surrounding that truce had sketched out a path to the ending the war and the release of all the remaining hostages in Gaza.
Hamas released 38 Israeli hostages during those weeks in exchange for thousands of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.
The Israeli military described the return to combat as "pre-emptive strikes [...] based on Hamas's readiness to execute terror attacks, build up force and re-arm".

Kanye blocked from entering Australia over Hitler song
Updated / Wednesday, 2 Jul 2025 11:00 American rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been blocked from entering Australia over an offensively titled song praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Australian Home Affairs minister Tony Burke revealed that the singer has been travelling for years to the country, where his wife of three years, Bianca Censori, was born. Her family live in Melbourne. Mr Burke said the track, which was released in May, promoted Nazism. It has been criticised as an antisemitic tribute to German dictator Adolf Hitler. "He's been coming to Australia for a long time. He's got family here. And he's made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again once he released the song and he no longer has a valid visa in Australia," the minister told Australian Broadcasting Corp. "We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry," he added. Australia's Migration Act sets security and character requirements for non-citizens to enter the country. Its largest cities, Sydney and Melbourne, have seen a spate of antisemitic attacks since the war between Israel and Hamas began on October 7 2023. Source: Associated Press

Hamas ‘ready for a ceasefire' but only if a deal ends the war in Gaza
Hamas has suggested it is open to a ceasefire agreement with Israel but insisted on its longstanding position that any deal must bring an end to the war in Gaza. The militant group stopped short of accepting a US-backed proposal announced by Donald Trump hours earlier. The US president said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed on terms for a 60-day ceasefire and urged Hamas to accept the deal before conditions worsen. He has been increasing pressure on the Israeli government and Hamas to broker a ceasefire and hostage agreement and bring about an end to the war. Donald Trump (Evan Vucci/AP) Mr Trump said the 60-day period would be used to work towards ending the war — something Israel says it will not accept until Hamas is defeated. He said a deal might come together as soon as next week. Hamas's response raised questions about whether the latest offer could lead to an actual pause in fighting. Hamas official Taher al-Nunu said the militant group was 'ready and serious regarding reaching an agreement', adding that the group is 'ready to accept any initiative that clearly leads to the complete end to the war'. A Hamas delegation is expected to meet Egyptian and Qatari mediators in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss the proposal, according to an Egyptian official. Throughout the nearly 21-month war, ceasefire talks have repeatedly faltered over whether the war should end as part of a deal. Hamas has said it is willing to free the remaining 50 hostages, less then half of whom are said to be alive, in exchange for a complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an end to the war. I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE Israel says it will only agree to end the war if Hamas surrenders, disarms and exiles itself, something the group refuses to do. An Israeli official said the latest proposal calls for a 60-day deal that would include a partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a surge in humanitarian aid to the territory. The mediators and the US would provide assurances about talks on an end to the war, but Israel is not committing to that as part of the latest proposal, the official said. It was not clear how many hostages would be freed as part of the agreement, but previous proposals have called for the release of about 10. Israel has yet to publicly comment on Mr Trump's announcement. On Monday, he is set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for talks at the White House, days after Ron Dermer, a senior Netanyahu adviser, held discussions with senior US officials about Gaza, Iran and other matters. On Tuesday, Trump wrote on social media that Israel had 'agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War'. 'I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE.'
