Israel-Hamas war: What happens now the ceasefire is over?

By Sky News

It took just minutes for Israeli airstrikes to resume on Gaza after a week-long truce between Israel and Hamas ended.

Israel's military resumed combat operations after accusing Hamas of violating the temporary ceasefire.

Despite an overnight effort from Egypt and Qatar to mediate a third extension of the truce, the deal fell apart with both warring sides blaming each other.

Hamas accused Israel of rejecting the group's offers to release more hostages, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas did not agree to free them.

As the fighting resumes host Sally Lockwood discusses the next phase of the war with Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall and speaks to UNICEF spokesperson James Elder about the catastrophic impact continued fighting is having on Gaza's children.
