Israel Halts Gaza Aid, Launches New Strikes After Accusing Hamas Of Violating Ceasefire.

Israel has launched a new wave of air strikes in southern Gaza and suspended humanitarian aid deliveries into the territory, accusing Hamas of carrying out attacks in “blatant violation” of the ongoing ceasefire agreement.

An Israeli military spokesperson confirmed late Sunday that the strikes targeted what the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) described as “terrorist infrastructure” in Rafah and other parts of southern Gaza.

“Hamas carried out multiple attacks against Israeli forces beyond the yellow line, the area our troops have withdrawn to in accordance with phase one of the US-brokered deal,” the spokesperson said.

“This is a bold violation of the ceasefire, and we will respond firmly.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly ordered defence and security officials to “act forcefully against terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip.”

In a swift response, Hamas denied any involvement in the alleged attacks and accused Israel of breaking the agreement.

“We affirm our full commitment to implementing everything that was agreed upon, foremost among which is the ceasefire in all areas of the Gaza Strip,” Hamas said in a statement.

“We are unaware of any events or clashes taking place in the Rafah area… Contact with our remaining groups there has been cut off since the resumption of war in March of this year.”

ISRAELI AIR FORCE STRIKES BALLISTIC MISSILE INFRASTRUCTURE, SOLDIERS IN WESTERN IRAN

According to a report by The Times of Israel, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) has carried out a significant wave of airstrikes in western Iran, targeting ballistic missile infrastructure and Iranian military personnel, according to a statement released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The operation, conducted a short while ago, involved approximately 20 IAF fighter jets and marks one of the most extensive Israeli air assaults on Iranian territory since the start of the current escalation. The IDF confirmed that the primary targets included missile launch platforms, storage facilities, and support infrastructure related to Iran’s ballistic missile program.

In addition to the fighter jet operations, an Israeli drone carried out a separate precision strike on a convoy of trucks transporting ballistic missiles. According to the military, the vehicles were struck as they arrived at a launch site, potentially preventing another missile barrage against Israeli territory.

The IDF said the attacks were launched in response to the ongoing threat posed by Iran’s long-range missile capabilities, which have been deployed against Israel multiple times in recent days. The operation is part of Israel’s broader strategic effort to degrade Iran’s offensive capacity and disrupt its ability to launch further attacks.

Western Iran has served as a hub for many of Tehran’s missile operations, with several known launch sites and storage depots believed to be located in the region. The strikes come just hours after ballistic missiles fired from Iran triggered sirens across northern Israel, although no casualties were reported.

The military has not disclosed the precise locations of the strikes or the number of Iranian personnel killed. However, the IDF emphasized that the operation was carefully planned to avoid collateral damage and was focused solely on military targets.

Israeli defense officials continue to warn of further action if Iran persists in its efforts to target Israeli territory.
