Headline: Netanyahu Accuses Hamas of Ceasefire Violation, Vows Retaliation

Rafah, Gaza Strip – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Hamas of violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement, following an incident where a military officer was lightly wounded by an explosive device in Rafah. The incident occurred on Wednesday, December 24, 2025.

In a statement released by his office, Netanyahu insisted that Hamas must fully adhere to the October agreement, which Israel claims necessitates the removal of Hamas from power in Gaza, as well as demilitarization and deradicalization of the territory. “Israel will respond accordingly,” the statement warned.

The Israeli military confirmed the incident, stating that an explosive device detonated near a military vehicle in the southern Rafah area.

While violence has decreased since the October 10 ceasefire, both sides have consistently accused each other of violations. According to Gaza’s health ministry, over 400 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the truce began.

The current ceasefire is part of a larger 20-point peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump in September. The plan outlines a truce followed by steps towards a broader peace, ultimately calling for Hamas disarmament and relinquishing its governing role in Gaza, with Israel withdrawing from the territory.

However, both sides have yet to fully agree to all aspects of the plan. Hamas has stated it will only disarm upon the establishment of a Palestinian state. The future of the ceasefire, and the broader peace process, remains uncertain.
