Israel resumes attacks in northern Gaza amid calls for ceasefire

Israel resumed military operations in the northern Gaza Strip on Monday amid growing international calls for a ceasefire.

In its latest update, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that its troops have returned to areas where they previously operated.

Over the past few weeks, attacks in the north of the strip have decreased following Israel's assertion of gaining control over the area, fostering hopes that displaced civilians could return to their homes – a prospect the Israeli army has indicated that it will not permit at this stage.
