Israel and Hamas are at odds again. This time, it's about who broke the truce in Gaza. Israel says Hamas is to blame. They claim Hamas hurt an Israeli soldier with a bomb in Rafah. Now, Israel is threatening to hit back. The Israeli leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, says Hamas must follow the rules. The deal from October says Hamas should not be in charge in Gaza. It also says Gaza should not have weapons or extremist groups. But Israel says Hamas is not keeping their end of the bargain. A few days ago, a bomb went off near an Israeli military car. One soldier got hurt, but not badly. This is not the first time something like this has happened. Since the truce started in October, there have been other fights. Both sides blame each other for breaking the peace.
Gaza's health officials say Israel has killed over 400 people since the truce. This shows the situation is still very tense. The U. S. has a plan to bring peace. It has 20 points, including a truce and steps towards peace. But both sides have not agreed to all the points. Hamas says they will give up their weapons only if a Palestinian state is created. The fighting has caused a lot of damage. Gaza is still in ruins after two years of war. The U. S. plan calls for Israel to leave Gaza. But this has not happened yet. The future of Gaza and the peace process is still uncertain.
