IDF strikes Hamas infrastructure after explosive hits engineering vehicle in Gaza

The IDF conducted strikes on Hamas infrastructure overnight Sunday into Monday in response to an explosive device that detonated under an IDF engineering vehicle in the northern Gaza Strip's Yellow Line area. No casualties were reported, but the IDF deemed the incident a "blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement by the Hamas terrorist organization." The military is investigating when the device was planted, emphasizing that exploiting the ceasefire to rebuild Hamas is a "grave mistake." This incident follows recent IDF operations in Gaza, including the killing of several Hamas commanders and the capture of a security apparatus head. Additionally, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz have instructed the military to develop a plan for a regional pilot model in Gaza, similar to southern Lebanon, involving international forces clearing designated areas and establishing governance outside the Yellow Line, though Gaza presents greater complexities due to the lack of an agreed governing entity.
