Israel's military said on Wednesday it would again observe the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip after carrying out a wave of deadly airstrikes in response to an attack that killed one of its soldiers. The health authority in Gaza controlled by the Palestinian militant organization Hamas reported 104 dead and more than 200 injured since Israel began its attacks on Tuesday.

The October 2024 operation targeted Iranian ballistic missile production sites weakening Tehran’s capabilities and paving the way for Israel’s subsequent Operation ‘Rising Lion.’

An Israeli security official said the transfer of aid into the territory is halted "until further notice," the first major test of the ceasefire.

The U.S. Central Command opened a Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in Israel, Oct. 17, marking the formal establishment of a main coordination hub for Gaza assistance five days after world leaders signed a U.

The Israeli military has launched an attack on Gaza, as Israel continued to trade blame with Palestinian militant group Hamas over violations of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire aiming
