Israel then carried out broader airstrikes after fighters killed two Israeli soldiers.

DW says those strikes killed at least 26 Palestinians.

Scripps News reports at least 36 Palestinian deaths, including children.

Digital Journal adds that Israel conducted “dozens of airstrikes” after the soldiers’ killing.

Both Israel and Hamas publicly claim they remain committed to the ceasefire.

The diverging death tolls and descriptions underscore a fragile truce while Israel continues lethal operations that Palestinians say are killing civilians.

The killings near the “yellow line” highlight the ceasefire’s geographic tripwire.

Daily Sabah describes the boundary and notes confusion among residents about its exact location.

Digital Journal explains the truce moved Israeli troops back to this line and left Israel controlling about half of Gaza, including borders but not main cities.

Digital Journal also notes that Israeli fire on Gazans near these positions has continued.

Daily Sabah adds that Israel’s defense minister threatened militant members in Israeli-controlled areas.

Both sides publicly insist they are sticking to the ceasefire even as people are still being killed by Israeli fire around the line.

Washington has increased its diplomatic efforts while Israel continues military actions against Palestinians under the cover of the truce.

“US President Donald Trump said Monday that he would give Hamas a chance to honor the Gaza truce deal with Israel, but warned the group would be “eradicated” if it fails to do so”

Digital Journal reports that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Netanyahu.

Scripps News and NewsBreak state that the White House is strengthening the ceasefire and may send Vice President JD Vance.

Channels Television and LaSexta both report that Trump warned Hamas it would be "eradicated" if it violates the agreement.

Channels Television adds that American forces will not engage in combat and that other countries have agreed to participate in an international stabilization force.

Daily Sabah and LaSexta describe simultaneous Egyptian-hosted talks involving Fatah.

Daily Sabah highlights Hamas's refusal to accept foreign administration and disarmament demands.

Humanitarian measures are being used as leverage while Israeli strikes continue to kill Palestinians.

DW reports that Israel halted aid to Gaza after accusing Hamas of violating the truce and states that the reopening of Rafah with Egypt is uncertain.

Scripps News says Israel paused aid but planned to resume it on Monday.

LaSexta reports that Israel allowed aid through Kerem Shalom but keeps Rafah closed for political reasons.

Digital Journal links border openings to exchanges of bodies, noting that Hamas has released surviving hostages and is returning bodies while Israel has returned Palestinian bodies.

NewsBreak states that the next steps include releasing the remains of deceased hostages.

These accounts show that aid and remains are being used as bargaining chips even as Israel continues to use lethal force under a supposedly active ceasefire.

Despite official claims that the truce holds, residents and reports describe a brittle pause with ongoing Israeli killings and looming escalation.

Scripps News says that by Monday the ceasefire appeared to hold.

El Correo Gallego says bombing has stopped only temporarily and the ceasefire remains fragile.

Daily Sabah emphasizes that Gaza residents remain anxious around the yellow line.

DW documents that Israeli strikes killed at least 26 Palestinians after a militant group killed two Israeli soldiers.

Digital Journal underscores the war’s toll by citing over 68,000 deaths in Gaza and over 1,200 in Israel.

This shows that even a declared ceasefire has not stopped lethal force against Palestinians.
