All this Trump Peace Agreement stuff has NOT stopped Hamas and Israel from still snipping at each other….
And innocent people getting killed….
AGAIN?
Hamas REMAINS an issue Trump’s plan does NOT really deal with…..
At least 25 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip, the Hamas-run health ministry has said.
Ten people, including a woman and a young girl, were killed when a ministry of religious endowments building in the eastern Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City was hit, according to rescuers.
The Israeli military said it had struck “Hamas terrorist targets” after it said gunmen had opened fire towards an area where its soldiers were operating in the southern city of Khan Younis, in violation of the five-week-old ceasefire agreement.
There was no immediate comment from Hamas.

Israeli public broadcaster Kan cited a security source as saying the targets of the strikes were the commander of the Zeitoun Battalion of Hamas’s military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, and the commander of its naval force.
On Monday, the UN Security Council passed a resolution that sought to shore up the fragile ceasefire, which took effect on 10 October.
Member states authorised the creation of a transitional governance body called the Board of Peace, which will be chaired by President Trump, and a temporary International Stabilisation Force (ISF), which will be tasked with ensuring “the process of demilitarizing the Gaza Strip”.
Trump hailed the resolution as “a moment of true historic proportion”.
A Hamas statement reiterated that the group would not give up its weapons without a Palestinian state, arguing its fight against Israel was legitimate “resistance”.
Israel’s ambassador to the UN stressed the importance of disarmament, saying that his country would “not stop or let up” until Hamas no longer presented “a threat”…..
