We speak with Al Jazeera reporter Ibrahim al-Khalili in Gaza, where the shaky ceasefire between Israel and Hamas appears to be holding despite sporadic violence. Gaza officials say Israeli forces have repeatedly violated the agreement, including when they opened fire on a civilian bus, killing 11 members of a Palestinian family attempting to return home in Gaza City. Israel killed dozens more over the weekend when it unleashed a wave of airstrikes after it said militants attacked some of its soldiers, although there are reports the soldiers died when their bulldozer ran over unexploded ordnance. Israel also continues to restrict humanitarian aid into Gaza, despite its commitments in the ceasefire agreement.
"Israel is breaching the ceasefire," says al-Khalili. "The war has not really ended for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who are still struggling to survive the next day with the lack of basic necessities."
Al-Khalili, who has reported from Gaza since the outbreak of the war in October 2023, lost several family members in a deadly Israeli attack on their apartment building. His brother Mohammed was also taken captive by Israeli forces for 19 months and only released last week as part of the prisoner exchange.

WASHINGTON - Today, the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will increase the range of civil penalties that may be imposed on individuals who violate the federal mask mandate at airports, on commercial aircraft, and in various modes of surface transportation, including passenger railroads, intercity bus services, and other public transportation. The federal mask mandate for transportation, which was implemented by TSA on February 2, 2021, will remain in effect until January 18, 2022.
The new range of penalties, which take effect Friday, September 10, 2021, will be $500-$1000 for first offenders and $1000-$3000 for second offenders.
"Wearing a mask protects the traveling public and all of the personnel who make the travel experience safe, secure, and comfortable," said . "We will continue to enforce the mask mandate as long as necessary to protect public health and safety."
"We appreciate the majority of travelers each day who voluntarily follow the requirement, but find this action necessary to maximize the protections for those who use and work within the transportation system, and to contain COVID-19," said . "By doubling the range of penalties, we seek to reinforce the importance of voluntary adherence."
TSA will provide updated signage at airports regarding these increased civil penalties. For more information about the federal face mask requirement, visit the TSA Coronavirus webpage.
These federal mask mandate-related civil penalties are separate from the civil penalties the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issues for individuals who engage in unruly and unsafe behavior.
