"Hamas Resurgence: IDF Deploys Troops as Tensions Rise in Gaza"

Hamas has deployed police forces and begun making partial salary payments to civil servants in Gaza City, signaling a resurgence in areas from which Israeli troops had withdrawn a month ago. Signs of Hamas's resilience in the Gaza Strip's largest city underscore its ability to maintain control despite Israel's efforts to crush the militant group. Israeli forces have renewed strikes in parts of Gaza City, including areas where salary distributions were reported. The conflict has resulted in widespread destruction and casualties, with more than 27,000 people killed and over 66,000 wounded. Efforts to negotiate a cease-fire deal continue, while the United States launched an air assault on sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias in retaliation for a drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan.
