The military tension between Israel and Hamas has decreased since the ceasefire agreement, but there is still a possibility of proactive military operations if the armed groups decide to resume attacks, according to The Washington Post. The publication reports that the ceasefire marks the end of a two-week-long escalation of violence. A representative from the military group mentioned that Hamas is now free to continue targeting Israeli settlements and towns, as they had prepared for during this period. In his words, “We have achieved the goal.”
