The fragile weeklong ceasefire between Hamas and Israel collapsed, with both sides blaming each other for violations.
Israel accused Hamas of rocket attacks and not providing a hostage list, while Palestinians accused Israel of initiating airstrikes.
The renewed hostilities led to Israeli airstrikes in southern Gaza, resulting in casualties.
Simultaneously, Hamas targeted Israeli cities, and Hezbollah escalated attacks on the Lebanon border.
The temporary ceasefire, proposed by Qatar, initially saw the release of hostages, but the fate of remaining hostages remains uncertain.
Negotiations involve demands for the release of prisoners on both sides, adding complexity to the situation.
