The scenario for a new one is getting further and further away ceasefire, with the Israel-Hamas war continuing unabated. Despite airstrikes resuming early Friday morning after a week-long ceasefire, talks continued in the background in the hope of extending the temporary ceasefire. However, the dark clouds are constantly thickening and such a possibility is gradually receding.

A source close to the negotiations in Doha said that talks broke down, according to the BBC a source close to the negotiations in Doha. Qatar, which has played a key role so far in the negotiations, expressed his deep regret for the renewed “Israeli attack” in Gaza after the end of the humanitarian ceasefire.

“Continued shelling of the Gaza Strip in the early hours after the end of the ceasefire complicates mediation efforts and worsens the humanitarian disaster in the Strip”Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Friday.

Qatar has pledged to take all necessary measures to restore calm, saying negotiations between the Palestinian and Israeli sides are continuing with the aim of returning to a state of truce, demanding “immediate ceasefire and ensuring the continuous and unhindered flow of aid convoys and humanitarian aid, in a way that meets the real needs of the people of the Strip.”

Since the morning the attacks began and the truce ended, 178 people have been killed, according to the Hamas health ministry in Gaza. “Most of them are children and women,” the ministry said in a statement. It adds that 589 injuries were also recorded during the day.

Continuous bombing in Gaza and sirens in Tel Aviv

From the morning the Israel Defense Forces attacked on over 200 targets in the Gaza Strip with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accusing Hamas of “violating the agreement” and “firing rockets”. The Israeli attacks are focused on the southern part of Gaza where according to the Hamas government, many people were killed in an Israeli air strike against Rafah on the border with Egypt.

In a statement, the IDF said:“In recent hours, terrorist infrastructure in the Gaza Strip has been targeted and hit. The targets included operational command centers where Hamas terrorists operated, underground facilities and a military compound from which anti-tank missiles were fired at soldiers earlier today.

In addition, the IDF eliminated a number of terrorist cells throughout the Gaza Strip, including a terrorist cell with more than 10 terrorists. The group was operating alongside ground troops and was identified by IDF observation soldiers.

Additionally, in joint ground and air activity, IDF forces intercepted two shots fired by terrorists who fired mortars at IDF troops in the Gaza Strip.”

At the same time, warning sirens for incoming rockets sounded on Friday afternoon and in many areas in central Israel, as the Israeli army announced, for the first time since the resumption of hostilities between Israel and Hamas, following a week-long ceasefire. Israel’s Iron Dome defense system intercepted the rockets, with no injuries reported.

Fire was launched against Israeli army positions today, Fridayor the Lebanese militia, Hezbollah with Israeli forces reporting that they returned fire and shot down what they described as an aerial target launched from Lebanon.

These are the 137 hostages who remain captive in Gaza

And while the Israeli raids began again in the Palestinian enclave, 137 hostages remain captured, according to the Israeli government, which is not disclosing any names. Among them are 126 Israelis or dual nationals, 8 Thais, one Nepalese, one Tanzanian and one Franco-Mexican (Orion Hernandez-Radu, 32, whose identity was confirmed by his family).

Hamas announced the deaths of the hostages, but their details could not be identified by an independent source. This is the case with the youngest hostage, infant Kfir (10 months), his mother Siri Bibas (32) and his brother Ariel (4), whose deaths have not been confirmed by the Israeli military. So far, the Israeli military has confirmed the death of 2 hostages.

Also, at least 17 adult women are still being held. Ofra Keidar and Judith Weinstein Hagai, both 70, are the two oldest women believed to remain hostages.

Five women, aged 18 or 19, are soldiers and are not covered by the hostage release agreement. At least 10 male soldiers between the ages of 18 and 22 are added to them. Most were serving their military service and were not career soldiers.

Including the soldiers, at least 91 adult men appear to remain captives. Among them are fathers of families whose children and spouses were released during the ceasefire. At least seven 70-year-olds and four 80-year-olds are believed to remain hostages, including husbands of women who were freed. In addition, among the hostages who remain, at least 33 were kidnapped at the Tribe of Nova music festival, attended by more than 3,000 people. Only five people who were at the rave festival were released during the truce, among them French-Israeli Mia Sem. Finally, at least 10 kibbutzim still count hostages.
