This pause in the war lasted seven days, and on Friday morning (December 1, 2023) the temporary ceasefire ended and the Israeli regime resumed attacks on the Gaza Strip in order to avenge the Al-Aqsa Storm, redress its defeat and stop resistance operations.

The Zionist regime has killed more than 22 8 35 Gazans and injured at least 58,416 since the start of the Zionist regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip, 70% of whom were women and children.
