Ceasefire ends as Israeli bombs strike Gaza

Israeli leaders announced that they ordered the strikes after Hamas would not agree to frameworks for a hostage deal proposed by Israeli and the United States.

Israeli warplanes bombed Gaza overnight, bringing an end to the Israel-Hamas ceasefire after two months.

    Simply not true, the first phase of the ceasefire explicitly lasted 42 days and came to an end on Feb 26.

    Israel and mediators continued to attempt to negotiate after that date but the ceasefire itself and its agreed upon terms came to an end Feb 26, 42 days after the start of Phase 1 on Jan 15

      The second phase went in which Israel instantly violated. But the negotiations were still ongoing. Meaning it was in effect.

      While israel did violate the ceasefire more than 900 times with no real violations from Hamas, the ceasefire was officially still in effect. Israel also violated the ceasefire many times during the first 42 days and did not allow the promised aid in.

            I’m even more confused now. How do you violate ceasefire so many times with so few bodies in such densely populated area? Does Israel have the absolute worst army in the world? Why am I reading that the ceasefire ended yesterday, but somehow they broke ceasefire today? See how nothing makes sense to me from far-away as a spectator?

                That was my point. I don’t want to come off as insensitive, but normally if a country violates a ceasefire during a war, you see something like 10-100 deaths per ceasefire violation, not 0.2. Does not sound like Palestinians were their target.

                Don’t forget to downvote this comment too since that’s apparently what we do on lemmy during discussions

                    …?

                    And once again, I give up trying to understand this conflict because rarely anyone makes any sense, and when you do try asking questions, instead of answers, you get insults and threats… suddenly I’m somehow supporting a genocide (not sure on which side tho) because I, once again, asked a question.

                    Screw this lmao, definitely the most toxic conflict of recent history, from both sides.

                    EDIT: Seeing as this is getting downvoted, I feel like elaborating on how ridiculous this is.

                    Try to imagine my perspective: I know little about this conflict. I asked how is it a ceasefire violation if ceasefire is not in effect or wtf is Israel doing since math doesn’t seem to be checking out. In return, instead of getting a calm explanation, I got threats, comment removals and all my comments got downvoted. Does that sound like a completely sane reaction to a simple question? I’m even a troll now
