    Was there even a ceasefire to begin with?

    Hamas has been shooting rockets at Israel for years, and Israel has been bombing Hamas as well.

      I would argue that with Israel’s approach to the Palestinians there can never be a true cease fire. Colonial Settler violence is all about maintaining an image of propriety while abusing the local group. While it may appear that it’s just rockets and bombing missions, there’s state sanctioned gangs that regularly attack Palestinians, the state police routinely kidnap Palestinians, and they kick Palestinians off of land and use the Army to prevent them from returning. Those aren’t actions of a state trying to maintain a cease fire in good faith.
