TEL AVIV (TIP): Israel’s military said early Friday, December 1, it was resuming fighting because Hamas had violated the previously agreed-upon truce after a projectile was fired from Gaza in the final minutes of the cease-fire. International mediators said talks were continuing in the hopes of a breakthrough, reports the New York Times.

The deadline for the weeklong truce between Israel and Hamas expired 7 a.m. Friday local time. Diplomatic talks had come down to the wire with indications earlier in the night that the negotiations may have broken down. Hamas did not immediately comment. Israel’s military said on the social media site X early Friday that it had intercepted a projectile fired from Gaza, before the pause had expired. That episode could not be independently confirmed, and there was no immediate report of injuries. It is a developing story.
