Israel has resumed military operations in Gaza, targeting Hamas strongholds in Rafah, despite the militant group's acceptance of a ceasefire agreement brokered by Egypt and Qatar. Israel claims the deal doesn't meet its "core demands" and plans to continue negotiations. The new strikes come after Hamas launched a rocket attack on an Israeli border crossing, killing three soldiers. Israel's response killed 19 Palestinians, including a baby. The escalation threatens to derail the ceasefire efforts and prolong the seven-month conflict.
