❗️Member of the Israeli Knesset and Otzma Yehudit party leader Itamar Ben Gvir:
"We welcome the return of the State of Israel, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to intense fighting.
As we have said in recent months, when we withdrew: Israel must return to fighting in Gaza. This is the right, moral, ethical, and most justified step in order to destroy the Hamas terrorist organization and bring back our captives – Hamas' existence must not be tolerated, and it is imperative to dismantle it."
❗️Civil Defense in Gaza:

BREAKING | Government Media Office in Gaza:
"With deep pride, honor, and submission to God's will, we mourn to our great Palestinian people, our Arab and Islamic nation, and all the free people of the world a group of government leaders in Gaza, whose names have been confirmed so far:
Martyr Leader Issam al-Da’alis – Head of Government Work Monitoring
Martyr Leader Ahmed al-Hatta – Undersecretary of the Ministry of Justice
Martyr Leader Major General Mahmoud Abu Wafaa – Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior
Martyr Leader Major General Bahjat Abu Sultan – Director General of the Internal Security Service
They were directly targeted by Israeli occupation aircraft, along with their families, and ascended to martyrdom alongside hundreds of others from our Palestinian people in the ongoing massacres since this morning.
As we bid farewell to these leaders who worked tirelessly since the beginning of this genocidal war to alleviate the suffering of their people and who fulfilled their responsibilities with dedication and sacrifice, we affirm that their martyrdom will not deter us from our national duty to our people. We will continue to fulfill our religious, moral, and professional responsibilities in serving, supporting, and standing firm with our nation against this brutal aggression."
❗️Statement by Hamas:
"The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) asserts that the Israeli occupation has reneged on the ceasefire agreement, evading its commitments, and continues to perpetrate massacres against our people in Gaza amidst disgraceful international silence.
The allegations made by the occupation regarding preparations by the resistance to launch an attack on its forces are baseless, serving merely as flimsy pretexts to justify its return to war and the escalation of its bloody aggression.
The occupation attempts to mislead public opinion and fabricate false justifications to cover its premeditated decision to resume genocide against defenseless civilians, showing no regard for any commitments it has made.
Hamas remained committed to the agreement until the last moment and was keen on its continuation. However, Netanyahu, seeking an escape from his internal crises, preferred to ignite war anew at the expense of our people's blood."
❗️Israeli authorities decided to close the Rafah crossing, preventing sick and injured Palestinians in the Gaza Strip from exiting through it to receive medical treatment.

❗️Statement by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ)
"The announcement by war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and his government of the resumption of aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip is a continuation of massacres as part of a genocide taking place before the eyes of the entire world, after he deliberately thwarted all efforts to reach a ceasefire.
This new aggression will not grant the enemy an upper hand over the resistance—neither on the battlefield nor in negotiations. Netanyahu and his bloodthirsty Nazi government will not escape their crises through this war; instead, it will further weaken them, add to their failures, and they will emerge from it humiliated and defeated.
We affirm that what Netanyahu and his barbaric army have failed to achieve in fifteen months of crimes and bloodshed, they will fail to achieve again—thanks to the steadfastness of our oppressed people and the bravery of our fighters in the fields of jihad and resistance.
Indeed, it is jihad… of victory or martyrdom."
❗️Hamas:
"Netanyahu and his Nazi government resume their aggression and genocidal war against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip.
We hold the criminal Netanyahu and the Nazi-Zionist occupation fully responsible for the repercussions of the treacherous aggression on Gaza, and for the defenseless civilians and our besieged Palestinian people, who are subjected to a brutal war and a systematic policy of starvation.
Netanyahu and his extremist government have decided to overturn the ceasefire agreement, exposing the prisoners in Gaza to an unknown fate.
We demand that the mediators hold Netanyahu and the Zionist occupation fully responsible for violating and overturning the agreement.
We call on the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to assume their historical responsibility in supporting the steadfastness and valiant resistance of our Palestinian people, and in breaking the unjust siege imposed on the Gaza Strip
We call on the United Nations and the UN Security Council to convene urgently to adopt a resolution obligating the occupation to halt its aggression and abide by Resolution 2735, which calls for an end to the aggression and withdrawal from the entire Gaza Strip."
❗️Six Palestinians were murdered in an Israeli airstrike on a car in Al-Sultan, Beit Lahia, northern Gaza.

❗️Hamas:
"The US administration's admission that it was informed in advance of the Zionist aggression confirms its direct complicity in the war of extermination against our people.
This admission once again reveals America's blatant complicity and bias towards the occupation, and exposes the falsity of its claims about its commitment to calm.
With its unlimited political and military support for the occupation, Washington bears full responsibility for the massacres and killing of women and children in Gaza.
The international community is called upon to take urgent action to hold the occupation and its supporters accountable for these crimes against humanity.
Our Palestinian people will not back down from their legitimate struggle until the occupation ends and their full and undiminished rights are achieved."
❗️Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on X:
"As we promised and explained, the Israeli military returned last night to an intense assault on Gaza with the goal of destroying Hamas, bringing back all the captives, and eliminating the threat posed by the Gaza Strip to Israeli citizens. By doing so, we aim to restore security to the residents of the Gaza border area and all citizens of Israel in the long term.
This is a gradual operation that we have planned and prepared over the past weeks since the new Chief of Staff took office. With God's help, it will look entirely different from what has been done so far. We will all need to renew our commitment with strength, faith, and determination—until victory, with God's help.
I send my blessings and prayers first and foremost to the soldiers of the Israeli military, the Chief of Staff, the Minister of Defense, and the Prime Minister.
For this moment, we remained in the government despite our opposition to the deal, and we are more determined than ever to complete the mission and destroy Hamas.
Whoever did to us what Hamas did on Simchat Torah—will be annihilated. Period.
Our Father in Heaven, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, the beginning of our redemption. Protect it with Your loving grace, spread over it Your shelter of peace, send Your light and truth to its leaders and advisors, and guide them with good counsel from You. Strengthen the hands of the defenders of our holy land, grant them salvation, and crown them with victory. May You bring peace to the land and eternal joy to its inhabitants."

The ceasefire's collapse comes as US warplanes continue to bomb Yemen, which has pledged to remain steadfast in its support for Palestinians and 'escalate the confrontation'
⭕️ Dr. Munir al-Barsh, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza: "The occupation has set a new record in killing our people":
"Our hospitals have received 326 martyrs and over 660 injured individuals. Many victims remain under the rubble, with most massacre victims being women and children.
There is a significant shortage of all types of medical resources; our hospitals lack even the most basic necessities.
The health situation is catastrophic, with 25 out of 38 hospitals out of service.
We urgently need field hospitals, beds, and operating rooms to handle the large number of injuries and victims of the aggression.
The occupation condemns patients and the injured in Gaza to death by closing the Rafah crossing and imposing a total blockade on the Strip.
There must be international intervention to stop the killing and enable our health system to address the situation.
We urgently call upon all citizens to donate blood throughout the Strip."
Emergency Statement from the Families of Israeli Prisoners Headquarters:
"Urgent Call – Prisoners Are Being Killed: Families March to Jerusalem for Demonstration, Inviting Public Participation
In light of the government's decision to sacrifice 59 prisoners in Gaza, the families are now heading to Jerusalem and call upon the public to join them.
There is nothing more important than this – military pressure will lead to the killing of live prisoners and the disappearance of the bodies of the deceased."
Palestinians at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City bid farewell to their loved ones, murdered in Israeli airstrikes overnight.

Following a night of intense bombardment, the Israeli military issued new evacuation orders, threatening to bomb areas across the entire perimeter of the Gaza Strip.
The military’s Arabic spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, published a map identifying "dangerous combat zones," once again forcing thousands of civilians to flee their homes under the threat of imminent destruction. The targeted areas include the towns of Beit Hanoun, Khuza'a, and the Abasan suburbs of Khan Yunis.
This marks the first evacuation order issued by the military since the announcement of the ceasefire.
During the war, Israeli forces established a buffer zone within the 60-kilometer perimeter of the Gaza Strip, occupying approximately 16% of its territory.
❗️Local sources told Al-Mayadeen:
○ Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants entered parts of the Lebanese side of town of Hawsh al-Sayyid Ali after the ceasefire.
○ Militants looted homes in the Lebanese town of Hawsh al-Sayyid Ali after the ceasefire.
○ Lebanese army has not entered the part of the Lebanese town of Hawsh al-Sayyed Ali where HTS militants are located.
🇾🇪 Yemen's Supreme Political Council:
"We condemn the Zionist enemy's resumption of aggression against the Gaza Strip and the targeting of defenseless civilians there.
The aggressive raids launched by the Israeli enemy this morning against the Gaza Strip coincided with the US aggression against Yemen and followed weeks of starvation of the Palestinian people and the prevention of aid from entering the Strip, with the aim of weakening the Palestinian negotiators and achieving political victories that were not achieved during the 15-month Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood.
The Palestinian people will not be left alone in this battle, and Yemen will continue to support and escalate the confrontation, as confirmed by Sayyed Abdul Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, may God protect him.
We hold the Zionist and American enemies fully responsible for violating the ceasefire agreement and thwarting all efforts to move to the second phase, as well as for the remilitarization of the seas and the intensification of tensions in the region. They must bear the consequences and repercussions of this, regardless of their magnitude.
We call on all free people in the world to reject this aggression and stand by the oppressed Palestinian people by all possible means.
We call on the international community and international organizations to condemn this aggression and the massacres committed against the Palestinian people during these blessed days of Ramadan, and to shoulder their historical responsibility in this context."
