Israel’s war with Hamas has resumed in full force, with air strikes hitting targets in the Gaza Strip minutes after a week-long truce expired.
Black smoke billowed from the besieged territory and Israel dropped leaflets over Gaza City and southern parts of the enclave, urging civilians to leave their homes to avoid the fighting.
In Israel, sirens warned of incoming rockets at several communal farms near Gaza, a sign that militants have also restarted attacks.
The renewed hostilities heightened concerns for Palestinians — many of whom have been displaced by the war — as well as about 140 hostages still in Gaza, after more than 100 were freed during the truce.
