Heavy Israeli bombing rocked the Gaza Strip on Sunday, killing at least 15 Palestinians, in a major violation of the ceasefire.

More than 100 air strikes were reported in Rafah and Khan Younis in the south, Jabalia in the north, and parts of central Gaza.

Among the sites hit were a cafe, a mobile phone charging station, a group of journalists and a house sheltering displaced people.

The Israeli government didn’t, but the Israeli population did. The strongest argument the public was making against the war was to bring the hostages home. Now that they’ve got that they have a much larger domestic social licence to continue the genocide. It was a real ‘rock and a hard place’ decision for Hamas given that Trump began alluding to the idea that the US would directly enter the war somehow if they didn’t agree to the plan.
