‘Not Good News’: Fox’s Trey Yingst Reports from Tel Aviv — As Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Falls Apart

Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst reported that it was “not good news” coming out of Israel Sunday morning after Hamas violated the ceasefire agreement, according to the Israeli Defense Forces.

“The Israeli military is currently striking the Gaza Strip,” Yingst began. “They say Hamas violated the ceasefire agreement. I spoke with one military official who said two separate attacks took place inside Israeli controlled territory. One of them an RPG attack and the other a sniper attack conducted by Hamas.”

Yingst said most of the strikes took place in the southernmost Gazan city of Rafa, “but there is at least one report of a strike in the northern part of the enclave.”

Yingst said it was a “difficult moment for Israeli forces having to make a decision about whether or not to start striking Gaza again.”

The IDF posted Sunday, “In response to Hamas’ blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement this morning, the IDF struck dozens of Hamas terror targets across Gaza. The strikes targeted weapons storage facilities, firing posts, terrorist cells and additional Hamas terror infrastructure. In addition, the IDF struck and dismantled ~6 km of underground terrorist infrastructure, used to advance attacks against Israel, using over 120 munitions.”

In a second post, the IDF included video of “several armed terrorists” who were “approaching IDF forces operating in the Beit Lahia area behind the yellow line.” The IDF wrote that the insurgents posed “an immediate threat to the troops” and were “struck.”

The U.S. State Department issued a statement overnight, saying, “The United States has informed the guaranteed nations of the Gaza peace agreement of credible reports indicating an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas against the people of Gaza.”

Yingst said the events have brought about two separate issues: “One, an attack by Hamas overnight on Israeli forces within the Gaza Strip, and two, a warning from the U.S. State Department that Hamas is planning to target Palestinian civilians or the forces that are currently opposing their rule inside Gaza.”

President Donald Trump has threatened to allow Israel to “finish the job” and put an end to Hamas if the terror group doesn’t stop its attacks.
