US asks Israel to 'respond proportionately but show restraint'

United States officials said they are making efforts to prevent a collapse in the Gaza truce deal. 

This follows Israel's latest round of violations in the blockaded strip as it launched a series of deadly attacks across the territory after it alleged that Hamas had breached the agreement. 

Axios reported that US envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have spoken to Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and asked Israel to "respond proportionately but show restraint."
