“Israeli warplanes resumed pounding Gaza, Palestinian civilians fled for shelter and rocket sirens blared in southern Israel on Friday,” Reuters reports.
“Barely two hours after the truce expired, Gaza health officials reported that 35 people had already been killed and dozens wounded… The Israeli military accused Hamas of violating the truce first by firing rockets and failing to free all the women it was holding hostage.”
New York Times: “Hostilities resumed almost immediately: Shortly before the truce expired at 7 a.m. local time (midnight Eastern), Israel said it had intercepted a projectile fired from Gaza. Moments after the deadline passed, Israel announced that it was restarting military operations, and Israeli airstrikes soon thundered again across the battered coastal strip.”
