Part 2/13:
Israel’s Defense Forces (IDF) responded swiftly, conducting air strikes in the southern city of Rafa, targeting tunnel shafts and militant positions, and engaging in tank fire near Abbasan. These actions resulted in casualties, including at least two deaths in Jabalia, highlighting the fragile nature of the supposed calm. Hamas, on the other hand, denies any violation, claiming they have been too preoccupied with consolidating control within Gaza — though they acknowledge their capacity to harm both Israelis and Palestinians.
