After news of a ceasefire agreement sparked mass rejoicing in Gaza, residents woke up Thursday to columns of smoke, rubble and more deaths following new Israeli air strikes.
"We were waiting for the truce and were happy. It was the happiest night since October 7," said Gaza resident Saeed Alloush.
"Suddenly... we received the news of the martyrdom of 40 people," including his uncle, Alloush said.
"The whole area's joy turned to sadness as if an earthquake struck."
The latest strikes came after Qatar and the United States announced a ceasefire deal that should take effect on Sunday.
