US President Donald Trump says Israel “hit back” after a soldier was “taken out” but claims “nothing is going to jeopardise” the ceasefire. He also says Hamas has “to behave”. Aljazeera reported.
The killings in Gaza come after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered “powerful” strikes following an exchange of gunfire in Rafah in southern Gaza. The Israeli military later said an Israeli soldier was killed.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 68,527 people and wounded 170,395 since it began in October 2023. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.
