The ceasefire didn't last very long. Trump expressed indifference to the first round of public executions by Hamas saying they had killed some "very bad people". This planned attack is different somehow.

Israel has launched fresh airstrikes in response to what it says were Hamas attacks on IDF forces.

The US says it has "credible reports" that Hamas is planning an "imminent" attack on civilians in Gaza, which it says would be a "direct and grave" violation of the ceasefire agreement.
A planned attack against Palestinians would "undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts", the state department said.
The statement did not not provide further details - or how this would be a breach of the US-brokered ceasefire agreed with Israel.
Hamas has strongly denied any planned imminent attack and has in turn accused Israel of supporting rival armed groups in Gaza. It has, however, been re-establishing control in the power vacuum that followed the Israeli partial withdrawal.
