President Trump insisted that the ceasefire in Gaza remains in effect despite Israeli strikes following alleged Hamas attacks near Rafah.

Israel accused Hamas of killing two soldiers beyond the agreed “yellow line,” but Trump suggested Hamas leadership may not have been involved.

The Israel Defense Forces said it had begun renewed enforcement of the truce after the incident.

Trump stated the situation would be handled “toughly, but properly” and that he would review the justification for Israeli strikes.

His special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled to Israel to meet Prime Minister Netanyahu, with Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife also expected to visit.

Tensions were fueled by Hamas’ failure to return all bodies of deceased hostages and disputes over the entry of aid into Gaza.

Palestinian authorities reported at least 23 deaths from Israeli strikes that day, while Hamas denied involvement and accused Israel of fabricating pretexts, NBC News has reported.

Hamas claimed Israel had committed 80 ceasefire violations in just over a week, resulting in dozens of deaths and hundreds of injuries.

Israel emphasized that anyone crossing the yellow line would be considered a target, while efforts were underway to clearly mark the boundary.

Families on both sides continue to struggle with locating and burying their loved ones, highlighting the human toll of the fragile ceasefire.
