Oct. 20, 2025, 5:20 AM EDT / Updated Oct. 20, 2025, 5:58 AM EDTBy Chantal Da SilvaPresident Donald Trump insisted that the ceasefire in Gaza was still in place after Israel launched strikes in the enclave and traded accusations with Hamas that each side had violated the fragile truce he helped broker.”We wanna make sure that it’s going to be very peaceful with Hamas,” Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One late Sunday after Israel carried out a wave of strikes in response to what it said were a series of Hamas attacks on Israeli forces in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.The Israel Defense Forces confirmed Sunday that it had begun “renewed enforcement of the ceasefire” after the first major test of the deal.Trump said Washington believed that Hamas leadership may not have been involved in the alleged violation of the truce after Israel accused the militant group of killing two soldiers beyond the “yellow line,” referring to the boundary within Gaza that Israeli troops have withdrawn to under the first phase of the truce. Asked whether the Israeli strikes that followed the incident were justified, Trump said, “I’d have to get back to you on that,” adding that the matter was “under review.” He said the situation was “going to be handled toughly, but properly.”As fears grew in the region that the 10-day-old ceasefire agreement could collapse, Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, headed to Israel.

An Israeli security official said Monday that aid would enter the famine-stricken territory through the Kerem Shalom Crossing, while the Rafah crossing remained closed.But after days of mounting tensions, Sunday’s strikes posed a sudden and significant threat to the deal.The Israeli military said it launched its strikes in southern Gaza after accusing Hamas of carrying out a “blatant violation” of the truce, with attacks on its forces in the Rafah area.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he had directed officials to take “strong action” against “terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip,” while Defense Minister Israel Katz said Hamas would “learn the hard way today that the IDF is determined to protect its soldiers and prevent any harm to them.”A spokesperson for the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza told NBC News on Sunday that at least 23 people had been killed in Israeli attacks that day.Hamas denied any involvement in the incident in Rafah and emphasized its commitment to the truce, while a senior official accused Israel of working to “fabricate flimsy pretexts” for its own assault. In a statement, Hamas’ government media office accused Israel of committing “80 violations” of the ceasefire since it began, which it said had killed dozens of people and wounded hundreds in just over a week since the truce began.

Savewith a NBCUniversal ProfileCreate your free profile or log in to save this articleOct. 23, 2025, 3:34 PM EDTBy Doha MadaniFormer NBA player and assistant coach Damon Jones is accused of taking part in a sports betting scandal in which he apparently gave away non-public information about Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Jones was named in an unsealed indictment Thursday as part of a widespread gambling investigation that federal officials have dubbed Operation Nothing But Bet. The indictment, filed in the U.S. District of Court of Eastern District of New York, accused six suspects of participating in a scheme to defraud betting companies. Two incidents from the indictment suggest that Jones tipped off his alleged conspirators to injuries involving James and Davis before the information was made public. In February 2023, Jones was either a teammate or coach of the player, unnamed, while Jones played on the Cleveland Cavaliers and later coached for the Lakers, the indictment said.That relationship allowed him access to “non-public information” about that player’s medical status on Feb. 9, 2023, when the Lakers were playing the Milwaukee Bucks, it continued.Jones allegedly texted his co-conspirator that the player would be out that night and to “Get a big bet on Milwaukee tonight before the information is out!” according to the indictment.LeBron James, power forward for the Lakers, was out that night due to a sore left ankle and foot, according to a game recap.

Jones also allegedly sold other nonpublic information about a Lakers player to conspirators that led to a $100,000 bet against the team during a Jan. 15, 2024, game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.According to the indictment, Jones gave away information about an athlete identified only as Player 4 being injured before the game. The information was not public at the time and the bet was made hours before the player was listed as “probable” in the NBA’s injury report.Anthony Davis was the only Lakers player listed as probable on the injury report from that day.“Ultimately, Player 4 played in the January 15 Game in line with his season average in minutes and performed well, and the Lakers won the game,” the indictment said.Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers plays against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Jan. 15, 2024.Ronald Martinez / Getty Images fileJones allegedly received $2,500 through a “peer-to-peer mobile payment” after providing the tip. The former NBA star has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. It’s unclear whether Jones has retained an attorney. Jones was arrested Thursday but court records do not yet list an appearance date for him.Doha MadaniDoha Madani is a senior breaking news reporter for NBC News.
