Israel announced on Oct. 19 that its cease-fire with Hamas would continue after a temporary resumption of hostilities over alleged violations of the peace deal by members of the terrorist group.
The Israeli military said earlier in the day that Hamas had violated the cease-fire by firing an anti-tank missile at Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) operating in the Rafah area, resulting in the deaths of two Israeli soldiers.
