TL;DR Summary

Israel has resumed combat in the Gaza Strip as the weeklong truce with Hamas expired. Israeli fighter jets launched airstrikes in Gaza, while Israel dropped leaflets urging people to leave their homes, indicating a potential widening of the offensive. The resumption of hostilities complicates mediation efforts, and concerns remain for the approximately 140 hostages still in Gaza. Qatar, along with Egypt, is working to reach an agreement on restarting the ceasefire. The Israeli military released a map dividing Gaza into numbered parcels, preparing for possible evacuations. The renewed fighting has resulted in casualties on both sides, with Israel accusing Hamas of violating the truce and Hamas blaming Israel for rejecting their offers.
