A previous ceasefire came into effect in mid-January, but broke down two months later.
The agreement surrounding that truce had sketched out a path to the ending the war and the release of all the remaining hostages in Gaza.
Hamas released 38 Israeli hostages during those weeks in exchange for thousands of Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.
The Israeli military described the return to combat as "pre-emptive strikes [...] based on Hamas's readiness to execute terror attacks, build up force and re-arm".

UNHCR's Ireland office to lose several positions in Dublin
UNHCR's Ireland office is to lose several positions in Dublin while other roles are being downgraded. It follows a wider review of positions within the UN refugee agency, which has been impacted by the global cuts being imposed across the sector. Irish based staff have been informed of the impacts affecting the Irish branch but have been reassured that the UNHCR will remain a national office and it will maintain a presence in Ireland. It is understood that the staff cuts will come into effect by September. The US President Donald Trump has scaled back American commitments as the world's single largest aid donor by slashing US aid programs. The United States Agency for International Development has recently been formally wound down after 83% of its programs were cancelled earlier this year. In a statement issued to RTÉ News, a spokesperson said that the UNHCR will continue its work with and on behalf of refugees and asylum seekers in line with its mandate. As part of the agency's broader cost-cutting measures, UNHCR has had to close or downsize offices worldwide and implement a nearly 50% reduction in senior positions at its Geneva headquarters and regional bureaus. In total, approximately 3,500 staff positions will be discontinued. Overall, UNHCR estimates a global reduction in staffing costs of around 30%. Humanitarian agencies have warned that 14 million lives could be lost due to President Trump's aid cuts. UNHCR's recently published Global Trends Report shows that the number of people uprooted by war is at decade high levels. The report calls for continued funding of UNHCR programmes that save lives, reinforce basic infrastructure and services in host countries.

The Indo Daily: Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, ‘Alligator Alcatraz', Rushmore ambitions and a new Irish envoy
Nearly 1,000 pages long and packed full of spending cuts and tax breaks, Trump has promised the bill will help the average American. His opponents aren't so sure. The president's former ally, Elon Musk, is among its most vocal critics, reigniting a prickly feud between the two that could see the world's richest man set up his own political party. While Washington wages battle over policy, the Trump show continues – from his 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention centre, to carving his face into the historic Mount Rushmore. And this week, his ambassador to Ireland has arrived full of enthusiasm – but without his goat. Today on The Indo Daily, Kevin Doyle is joined by Scott Lucas, professor of international politics at UCD's Clinton Institute, and by Gina London, Sunday Independent columnist and former CNN correspondent, to look at one of Trump's biggest policy moves to date and ask – could he really deport Elon Musk?
