On Friday morning, the 7-day temporary ceasefire agreement ended without any news about its extension, while the Israeli army said that fighting had resumed in the Gaza Strip.
During the truce, a total of 83 Israelis were released, including dual citizens, and 24 other hostages were released, namely 23 Thais and one Filipino, including several men.
Israel says about 125 people are still being held hostage by Hamas.
In return, hundreds of Palestinian prisoners were released from Israeli prisons, and the pace of aid entering the Gaza Strip increased during the days of the truce.
The agreement ended after a week that saw two extensions, despite international pressure to maintain the truce for as long as possible.

In a statement, Benjamin Netanyahu’s office identified three goals for the war: “releasing the hostages held by Hamas, eliminating the movement, and ensuring that Gaza cannot threaten the people of Israel again.”
The statement considered that “Hamas violated the truce and did not fulfill its commitment to release all women hostages, and fired rockets at Israel.”
