The Israel-Hamas truce - which began on November 24 and was prolonged twice - expired last Friday. It implied a ceasefire, as well as a prisoner swap and admission of humanitarian convoys into Gaza.
Fighting resumed between Israel and Gaza on December 1, with Israel carrying out new air raids and Hamas reportedly launching several missiles, despite claiming it to be a “misfire.” Hamas missiles were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.
According to the latest available data, over 60% of Gaza homes have been leveled to the ground since October 7, leaving over 50,000 families homeless. Over 15,000 people have been killed, of which over a third are children.

Gaza’s Karem Shalom Crossing May Reopen to Screen Humanitarian Aid - US State Dept.
Progress has been made to allow for the reopening of the Karem Shalom crossing into the Gaza Strip to screen humanitarian assistance entering the Palestinian enclave, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Monday.
"We have been trying very hard to get that aid back up not just to the levels that was that it was at during the pause, which was around 200 trucks a day, but to actually increase it and to change the nature of what's coming in," Miller said during a press briefing. "I think we're making progress on that. We have urged that the Kerem Shalom be reopened not as a crossing, but for screening."
