Israel has restarted ground operations in Gaza as a temporary ceasefire with Hamas concluded, with no agreement for an extension from either side. Prior to the ceasefire expiration, Israel intercepted a rocket from Gaza, and reports of explosions and gunfire in northern Gaza surfaced. The seven-day ceasefire, extended twice, facilitated the release of 105 hostages in Gaza and 240 Palestinian prisoners in Israel, along with humanitarian aid entry. Efforts by Qatar and Egypt to prolong the truce intensified after a recent exchange of hostages and prisoners. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's adviser expressed readiness for various scenarios, stating, "We're ready for all possibilities."
