Morning recap: Israel resumes bombing as truce expires

Good morning MEE readers. On Friday morning, after Israel and Hamas failed to extend a seven-day truce in Gaza, Israel's military began an intense bombing campaign all across the enclave.

The renewed fighting has already led to several Palestinian deaths and injuries, and the death toll is expected to rise in the coming hours.

Here is what you need to know:

Four Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli strike on a house in Rafah, and at least two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on a house in the Maghazi camp in central Gaza.
The last round of 30 Palestinian prisoners released by Israel arrived in Ramallah in the early hours of Friday morning.
A new report from The New York Times states that Israeli officials had obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the 7 October attack more than a year before it happened, but Israeli officials dismissed the plan because they believed Hamas did not have the capabilities to pull it off.
Israeli forces launched several overnight raids across the occupied West Bank on Friday morning.
