Gaza ceasefire still in place after Israel and Hamas accuse each other of breaching deal – Trump


US President Donald Trump says the ceasefire in Gaza is still in place, hours after Israel’s military said it carried out a wave of strikes against Hamas.

The IDF said it would resume enforcement of the ceasefire, after Israel and Hamas accused each other of breaching the deal.

Strikes began in southern Gaza on Sunday, October 19,2025, after the Israeli military said “terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire” toward its troops in Rafah, killing two soldiers. Hamas said it’s unaware of any clashes in the area under Israeli control.

By evening, Israel said it had hit Hamas targets across Gaza. Hospital sources say 44 people were killed. Hamas had said it was committed to the ceasefire, but accused Israel of violations and warned strikes could “push the situation toward a total collapse.”
