Where does the Israel-Hamas ceasefire stand now? Here's a timeline on the latest developments
CBC
The first phase of a fragile ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza crumbled earlier this week after Israel pounded the enclave with heavy airstrikes — the deadliest since the truce was signed.
The latest violence has left at least 600 Palestinians dead so far this week, many of whom were women and children. UNICEF says Tuesday's attack was the largest single-day death toll of children in the last year.
But the assault wasn't the first violation of the ceasefire over the last two months.
Israel has warned that Tuesday's strikes were "just the beginning," launching a ground invasion into central and southern Gaza on Wednesday and expanding into north of the enclave Thursday.
While Israel has not formally declared an end to the January ceasefire agreement with Hamas, Tuesday marked a turning point in the region, threatening to renew full-scale warfare.
Here's a timeline of key dates since the ceasefire deal was signed:
Negotiators reach a deal for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after 15 months of conflict.
The three-phased deal includes hostage and prisoner releases while delaying talks on Gaza's future to a next stage of the truce.
Hamas frees a first batch of hostages as Phase 1 of the ceasefire agreement — a 42-day period — comes into effect.
Israel also releases a first batch of Palestinian detainees in the following hours.
After only a couple weeks in office, U.S. President Donald Trump declares his intent for the United States to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East," as the Israel-Hamas ceasefire continues to hold.
Hamas threatens to stop hostage releases, accusing Israel of failing to respect stipulations in the agreement surrounding aid deliveries, but later says they will be released as scheduled.
Israel also accuses Hamas of breaching the agreement, saying Hamas had fired a rocket from Gaza that landed in the enclave. Hamas denies the allegations, saying it was an unexploded Israeli ordinance that had ignited and fired into the air while it was being moved away from a residential area.
The first phase of ceasefire expires without agreement on a second phase. Israel says first phase should be extended with further hostage releases. Hamas says original deal should be continued, with second-phase talks.
Canada’s military operations command has embarked on a study about how the country’s NATO deployment in Latvia can be realistically sustained into the future, and one of options could involve more permanent basing, says a senior commander.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday delivered a new warning to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as the U.S. Coast Guard steps up efforts to seize oil tankers in the Caribbean Sea as part of the Republican administration's escalating pressure campaign on the government in Caracas.
Both sides of the miserable war in Gaza are dragging their feet on moving on to the next crucial phase of the ceasefire, leaving Palestinians in the territory to deal with the muck and sometimes deadly cold of winter with few reasons to hope that meaningful progress will come soon.
A mule grazed on a recent Thursday afternoon at the end of a quiet dirt road near the entrance of a gated and walled ranch house on the outskirts of Culiacán, the capital of Sinaloa state in northwestern Mexico.
The U.S. on Saturday seized an oil tanker that was last docked in Venezuela, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a post on social media platform X.
If it were the premise of a Hollywood movie, it would be hard to believe.
Long before you could see the crowd, you could hear them. The whistles and shouting carried blocks from the residential street in Minneapolis, where more than 70 people lined the sidewalk recording on their phones and hurling insults — and the occasional snowball — at a handful of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and their vehicles.
A man who is suspected of killing two and wounding several others at Brown University has been found dead in a New Hampshire storage facility, officials said.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Thursday promised a crackdown on hate speech in the wake of the attack on a Jewish holiday event at Sydney's Bondi Beach, which left 15 dead.
For nearly four years, the city of Kramatorsk in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk has been a stronghold — a key logistics hub for the military, and for the population, a literal and symbolic fortress standing firm against a Russian push that continues to edge closer from the south and the east.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is ordering a blockade of all "sanctioned oil tankers" into Venezuela, ramping up pressure on the country's authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro in a move that seemed designed to put a tighter chokehold on the South American country's economy.
