16.01.2025The Day Bombs Defied Qatar's Deal
Qatar's ceasefire announcement was immediately followed by intensified strikes across Gaza, with over 80 casualties reported in the hours after the deal.

Evening developments centered on Ben-Gvir's resignation threats if the deal proceeds, while satellite analysis revealed 70% of Gaza's buildings damaged or destroyed.
