In a significant development, a ceasefire has been implemented in the southern regions of the Gaza Strip, as reported by Al Arabiya. The ceasefire is set to last for a duration of five hours. Prior to this, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) had stated that they were employing the lightest and most accurate weaponry in the Gaza Strip. Jonathan Conricus, spokesperson for the IDF, emphasized that the Israeli military is committed to international law and strives to use the lightest and most precise weaponry available in order to target objectives within the Gaza Strip.
On October 7th, Hamas forces launched thousands of rockets into Israeli territory and declared the beginning of the “Al-Aqsa Deluge” operation. Thousands of militants infiltrated Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military vehicles and over a hundred hostages. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the country was in a state of war. Furthermore, Netanyahu stated that Israel is transitioning to a massive attack like never before.
This latest development of a ceasefire brings a temporary respite to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The use of precision weaponry by the IDF reflects their commitment to minimizing collateral damage and adhering to international norms. The situation remains tense, and further updates on the conflict are expected in the coming days.
