Israel to Resume Gaza Operation as Truce with Hamas Crumbles The Israeli military has told people in Gaza it is resuming operations, saying Hamas broke a planned 72-hour ceasefire just hours after it had begun. The army said it had warned residents to stay indoors. Palestinian sources say at least 30 people have been killed in an Israeli attack in Gaza. Israel said it was in response to rocket fire from Hamas. About one thousand 460 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have died in the conflict and 63 Israelis, mostly soldiers. The ceasefire was brokered by the US and UN to give civilians a reprieve from the violence, and had been seen as an unforeseen breakthrough after days of diplomatic deadlock. Source: BBC
