Gaza, the truce is over. Israel resumes attacks on the enclave

Several explosions and gunfire were heard in northern Gaza as Israel said it resumed attacks on the besieged Strip after a temporary ceasefire expired. Palestinian media also reported fierce clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian resistance fighters on Friday. The Gaza-based Interior Ministry said Israel launched artillery attacks on the northwestern part of the Gaza Strip. A series of airstrikes also hit the besieged Strip. At least six Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air raid on the southern Gaza city of Rafah on Friday morning, Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said.
