pawel.gaul/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The cease-fire between Hamas and Israel has ended, according to the Israel Defense Forces, which said early Friday morning that Hamas had broken the cease-fire.
The end of the cease-fire comes after Hamas freed over 100 of the more than 200 people its militants took hostage during the Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel. In exchange, Israel released more than 200 Palestinians from Israeli prisons.

Dec 01, 9:55 AM EST 'Children lying on the floor with limbs missing' in Gaza: UNICEF
As fighting between Israel and Hamas resumes, Israel's "relentless bombardment" in Gaza on Friday has been "utterly terrifying" -- and has had an immediate impact “on the faces of children," UNICEF spokesperson James Elder told ABC News.
"I feel I was starting to see childhood return when you chat to them -- that’s been replaced by fear again," Elder said. "There’s a trauma which returns very quickly."
Elder described seeing "children lying on the floor with limbs missing." He said some children who had already been injured were being moved around hospitals to make room for other casualties to come in.
He said sanitation "has broken down" and Gaza’s hospitals are now "on life support."
“Disease threatens just as many children" as the bombings, he said.
Over the last seven days, aid has been reaching Gaza, he said, but, "seven days was never ever enough.”
Elder said he’s "terrified" that if the fighting continues for even another couple of weeks, “many, many more thousands of people" could be killed.

Dec 01, 9:40 AM EST Israel, Hamas trade blame for reigniting the war
As a truce ended between Israel and Hamas on Friday, both sides traded blame for reigniting the war.
Israel accused Hamas of violating the cease-fire by firing rockets toward Israeli territory just after 7 a.m. local time, as negotiations failed to further extend the truce. The Israeli military has since resumed combat in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, with ground, air and naval forces striking more than 200 "terror targets" in the north and south thus far, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
Meanwhile, Hamas accused Israel of "persistently rejecting" all its offers to release more hostages in Gaza amid negotiations to extend the cease-fire agreement on Thursday night. Hamas alleged that it had offered to hand over more Israeli detainees, including the elderly, as well as the bodies of those who have died in captivity, which the militant group claimed was a result of previous Israeli bombings.
"However, the [Israeli] occupation, driven by a predetermined decision to resume criminal aggression, remained unresponsive," Hamas said in a statement.

Dec 01, 8:51 AM EST Israeli kibbutz confirms deaths of 3 Hamas-held hostages in Gaza
An Israeli kibbutz confirmed Friday the death of three of its residents who were taken hostage by Hamas during the Oct. 7 attack.
Kibbutz Nir Oz announced that 85-year-old resident Aryeh Zalmanovich has died in Hamas captivity in the Gaza Strip. Zalmanovich was one of the founders of the kibbutz, which is located in southern Israel near the border with Gaza.
“Father of two sons and grandfather of five grandchildren. Aryeh was a man of the land all his life who was engaged in agriculture and field crops,” the kibbutz said in a statement. “A man of books and has a wide knowledge of history and knowledge of the country.”
Gaza's militant rulers, Hamas, released a video in mid-November that appeared to show Zalmanovich looking ill. The group claimed he had later died.
Kibbutz Nir Oz also announced that 54-year-old resident Ronen Engel has died in Hamas captivity in Gaza. The kibbutz described Engel as a "photographer, MDA volunteer and motorcycle enthusiast." His wife and two daughters were also kidnapped to Gaza on Oct. 7 and released this week, according to the kibbutz.
A third resident of kibbutz Nir Oz, 56-year-old resident Maya Goren, was also confirmed to have died in Hamas captivity in Gaza. Her husband was among those killed on Oct. 7, according to the kibbutz.
"Maya was a hardworking and dedicated kindergarten teacher, and gave loving care to the kibbutz children for many years," the kibbutz said in a statement.

Dec 01, 8:50 AM EST Gaza death toll rises as war resumes
More than 100 people were killed in the Gaza Strip on Friday as Israel resumed its bombardment of the war-torn territory, after a cease-fire with Hamas ended.
Within hours of the truce ending on Friday morning, at least 32 people were killed by Israeli strikes. That number had increased to at least 109 by Friday afternoon and hundreds more were wounded, according to Gaza's Hamas-run Ministry of Health.
"Medical teams are dealing with large numbers of wounded with the end of the truce and renewed bombing of civilians this morning," health ministry spokesperson Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra said in a statement. "The wounded are lying on the ground in emergency departments and in front of operating rooms as a result of the accumulation of cases."
"The health situation in Gaza and the northern Gaza Strip is extremely disastrous as a result of major hospitals being out of service," he added. "Medical and clinical capabilities in Gaza and the north are very limited. The three remaining hospitals in Gaza and the north are small and not qualified to receive large numbers of wounded."
More than 15,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war broke out on Oct. 7, according to the health ministry.

Dec 01, 5:27 AM EST Qatar says efforts to renew Israel-Hamas truce 'are continuing'
Qatar announced Friday morning that efforts to renew a truce between Israel and Hamas "are continuing," despite the resumption of Israeli bombardment in the Gaza Strip.
Qatar, along with Egypt and the United States, have mediated the talks between Israel and Hamas.
"The State of Qatar expresses its deep regret at the resumption of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip following the end of the humanitarian pause, without reaching an agreement to extend it," the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms that negotiations between the two sides are continuing with the aim of returning to a pause. It also clarifies that the State of Qatar is committed, along with its mediation partners, to continuing the efforts that led to the humanitarian pause, and will not hesitate to do everything necessary to return to calm."
"The Ministry stresses that the continued bombing of the Gaza Strip in the first hours after the end of the pause complicates mediation efforts and exacerbates the humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip, and in this context calls on the
