The raid took place as Israel’s military said it had expanded its operation to crack down on militants in the city of Jenin.

Israel has introduced what it said was a new U.S. ceasefire plan and is trying to force Hamas to accept it by imposing a siege on the Gaza Strip.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel's top security agency ignored signs Hamas would attack in October 2023 and was fooled into believing the militant group did not want all-out war, the agency reported in its own inquiry into one of Israel's most devastating security failures.

Israel is giving Hamas “several days” to rethink terms for a new Gaza ceasefire, raising the prospect of further pressure tactics or a resumption of war.

As the first phase of the truce in Gaza ends, the two sides are continuing negotiations but also preparing for a possible return to war.

CAIRO/GAZA (Reuters) - Israel's block on deliveries into the war-stricken Gaza Strip has led to price increases and fears of food shortages, prompting punitive measures from the Hamas-run authorities against merchants, according to Hamas sources and witnesses.

Hundreds of aid trucks have entered Gaza daily since the ceasefire began on Jan. 19​, and it was unclear what the immediate impact of the aid cutoff would be.

New polling from Gallup has found support for Israel among Americans has hit "the lowest in 25 years" of the company's annual tracking—well below 50 percent—as sympathy towards Palestinians has continued a steady upward trend.
