Ceasefire in Peril: Rafah Strikes and the Collapse of the Truce

The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has collapsed. On October 19, 2025, Israel launched airstrikes on Hamas positions in Gaza, accusing the group of attacking Israeli forces near Rafah and violating the truce established just eight days earlier. Hamas denies the charges, claiming Israel is responsible for breaking the ceasefire.
The renewed violence has left dozens dead and hundreds wounded, deepening Gaza’s humanitarian crisis as border crossings remain closed and aid deliveries stalled. International leaders are calling for restraint, while Arab nations condemn the escalation and urge immediate humanitarian access.
President Trump has issued a strong warning to Hamas, saying the U.S. will support decisive action if bloodshed continues. Meanwhile, global reactions reveal growing frustration and fear of a wider regional conflict.
