Israel has accused Hamas of attacking Israeli forces in southern Gaza with the military carrying out airstrikes in the city of Rafah, the first major test of the US-brokered ceasefire.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance sought Wednesday to ease concerns in Israel that the Trump administration was dictating terms to its closest ally in the Middle East, as he and other top U.S. envoys visit Israel this week to support the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

Shortly after a ceasefire took effect in Gaza, clashes erupted between armed groups, some backed by Israel and others loyal to Hamas, as the Islamist movement sought to reassert control over the devastated territory.

Numerous senior U. S. officials continue to descend on Israel to keep tabs on the fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the latest in a series of top U.S. officials to visit the center for civilian and military coordination. Vice President JD Vance was there earlier this week where he announced its opening.
