Despite a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel mediated by Qatar and the U.S., Israeli attacks persist in Gaza, killing at least 30 Palestinians. Celebrations erupted in Gaza after the 15-month conflict appeared to end, with the ceasefire set to take effect on January 19. Hamas claims the deal includes Israeli withdrawal and the return of displaced people. However, Israeli assaults continue, causing significant destruction to infrastructure, including hospitals, schools, and religious sites.
