On Tuesday morning, the day after Hamas released all living captives, Israel resumed aerial bombardment in Gaza with an airstrike that reportedly killed five civilians in Shejaiya and another that killed two in Khan Younis.

It didn’t take long before Israel resumed killing and besieging Gazans. Within 24 hours of the ceasefire’s beginning, Israel killed at least 35 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 72 others.
