Israeli forces continue to carry out attacks in Gaza despite a two-month-old truce with Hamas, killing at least nine Palestinians in the latest strikes. The military claims that the attacks are in response to threats from militants, but Hamas has accused Israel of repeatedly violating the agreement. The ongoing airstrikes highlight the lack of a comprehensive truce between Israel and Hamas, with negotiations for the next steps in the cease-fire agreement making little progress. Israeli forces remain deployed in a buffer zone inside Gaza and along the Philadelphi Corridor, despite the terms of the cease-fire requiring withdrawal from the area.
