Oct. 19, 2025, 6:23 AM EDTBy Nick Duffy and Matt BradleyIsrael accused Hamas on Sunday of violating the ceasefire by carrying out attacks on its forces in Gaza, while Hamas accused Israel of working to “fabricate flimsy pretexts” for its own actions.Israeli and Palestinian media reported that the IDF carried out airstrikes in southern Gaza early Sunday, in what would be its first such attacks since the start of the truce that halted its assault on the besieged Palestinian enclave. Two Palestinian eyewitnesses told AFP that fighting erupted in part of the southern city of Rafah still under Israeli control, followed by two air strikes.NBC News has not verified the reports, and the Israeli military did not confirm the strikes.An Israeli military official subsequently accused Hamas of a “bold violation of the ceasefire” with incidents including a rocket-propelled grenade attack and a sniper attack against Israeli forces.”Hamas carried out multiple attacks against Israeli forces beyond the yellow line,” the Israeli military official said, referring to the area where its military is now positioned inside Gaza under the first phase of the ceasefire.Izzat Al-Rishq, a senior member of Hamas‘ political wing, said the group “affirms its commitment to the ceasefire agreement,” accusing Israel of violating the agreement and working to “fabricate flimsy pretexts” to evade its responsibilities.The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came into effect on October 10, when the group agreed to release all Israeli hostages held in Gaza in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and detainees under the first phase of a deal brokered by the United States.Both sides have accused the other of violating the terms of the deal. Israel says Hamas is delaying the release of the bodies of hostages held inside Gaza, while Hamas says it will take time to search for and recover remains. Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s far-right national security minister who opposed the ceasefire, called Sunday for the IDF to “resume the fighting in the Gaza Strip at full strength.”The ceasefire also includes the ramping up of aid into Gaza, where the world’s leading authority on hunger has declared a famine in some areas.On Saturday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt would remain closed “until further notice,” citing the hostage dispute.There have been flashes of violence within Gaza during the ceasefire, marked by at least one public execution and Hamas clashes with rival factions as the militant group tried to reassert control amid the ceasefire in the war-torn territory.On Saturday, the U.S. Department of State said in a post on social media that there had been “credible reports indicating an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas against the people of Gaza.” Hamas rejected the suggestion.Nick DuffyNick Duffy is a weekend and world editor for NBC News.Matt BradleyMatt Bradley is an international correspondent for NBC News based in Israel.Reuters contributed.

Nov. 5, 2025, 6:07 PM ESTBy Michael KosnarA federal judge blasted Justice Department prosecutors on Wednesday several times for what he described as an “indict first, investigate later” attitude in the criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey.Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick voiced his concerns at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Alexandria about how prosecutors from the Eastern District of Virginia were handling evidence against Comey, who was indicted in September on one count of making a false statement and one count of obstructing a congressional proceeding stemming from his testimony on Sept. 30, 2020, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.Comey, who was indicted after President Donald Trump urged Attorney General Pam Bondi in a social media post to charge Comey and other longtime enemies, has pleaded not guilty. Ahead of a trial scheduled for Jan. 5, his attorneys have argued that the case should be dismissed on the basis that it is a vindictive prosecution brought at the behest of Trump. They are also challenging interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan’s appointment as U.S. attorney, calling it “unlawful.”On Wednesday, Fitzpatrick expressed particular concern about information that was obtained through search warrants from a previous FBI investigation. He appeared frustrated and said this was not a “traditional case” and that “the procedural posture of this case is highly unusual.”Fitzpatrick chastised prosecutors, saying, the “indict first investigate later” strategy they employed “creates procedural challenges.”The hearing lasted just under an hour.Lindsey Halligan in the Oval Office of the White House on March 6,.Al Drago / Bloomberg via Getty Images fileFitzpatrick ordered prosecutors to produce, by the end of the day on Thursday, all grand jury transcripts and materials from the current prosecution as well as evidence that FBI agents seized during a prior leak investigation in 2019 and 2020.Comey’s attorneys said they are at a disadvantage because they have not received access to the information that was collected back then as part of an investigation into FBI media leaks known as “Arctic Haze.”Four search warrants targeted Daniel Richman, a Columbia University law professor who was an “FBI special government employee” and a close friend and onetime attorney for Comey. He has been revealed to be “person 3” in the Comey indictment.The indictment alleges that Comey told Richman to leak information to reporters and therefore he lied to the Senate Judiciary Committee when he denied having authorized any media leaks.But Comey’s lawyers say he was not referring to Richman at the time, and that he thought he was responding to a question about former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.Comey’s lawyers told the judge they had not been able to review the materials and data seized from Richman’s electronic devices, so they don’t know if any of it contained privileged information from back in 2019 and 2020, when Richman served as Comey’s personal attorney.“We’re going to fix that, and we’re going to fix that today,” Fitzpatrick said, questioning whether privileged information had been used to secure the indictment against Comey as well as in subsequent court filings.Nathaniel Lemons, an assistant U.S. attorney brought in from North Carolina to prosecute the case against Comey, said investigators reviewing the old search warrant materials stopped the process after finding information that might fall under attorney-client privilege with Richman.Lemons said the information seized from the old search warrants has been “isolated on a desk in FBI headquarters.”Fitzpatrick said he was admittedly putting an “unfair burden” on the defense because they will not have much time to review the discovery materials once handed over by the prosecution, due to the fast track that the case is on.“The defense is gravely concerned with the government’s conduct,” said Rebekah Donaleski, one of Comey’s attorneys.Another stumbling block for Comey’s team: Defense attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said he has not been able to review classified information in the case because of a delay in getting a security clearance.Comey attended the hearing but did not speak, and sat at the defense table with his attorneys: Fitzgerald — a former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois — and Donaleski — a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York — who did the bulk of the talking for the defense.Comey’s wife and his son-in-law, former assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Troy Edwards, Jr., who resigned from the U.S. Attorney’s office after Comey’s indictment, sat in the courtroom’s first row.At the prosecution table sat Halligan, who presented the case by herself to the grand jury.Halligan, a former White House aide and former Trump attorney, was named interim U.S. attorney despite her lack of prosecutorial experience after the previous U.S. Attorney, Erik Siebert, resigned under pressure to indict Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Halligan also indicted James, a frequent Trump target, who secured a nearly $500 million judgment against him and his companies before he was elected to a second term last year. A New York appeals court later tossed out the civil fraud penalty. James also has pleaded not guilty to charges she similarly describes as political retribution.Michael KosnarMichael Kosnar is the Justice Department Producer for NBC News. Zoë Richards contributed.

Oct. 14, 2025, 1:37 PM EDTBy Chantal Da SilvaA triumphant President Donald Trump has declared “peace in the Middle East” between Israel and Hamas, claiming to have brought one of the world’s most deeply entrenched conflicts to an end. But on the ground, lasting peace looks more like an aspiration than a certainty. As the first phase of Trump’s plan held through Monday, families across Israel, the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank rejoiced as 20 hostages and some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees were freed. The bodies of only four of 28 deceased hostages were returned.In Gaza, relief at Israeli forces’ withdrawal to pre-approved boundaries mingled with despair. Families returned to destroyed homes, searched in the debris of bombed buildings for the remains of loved ones and despaired over where their next meal would come from.Amid bittersweet moments that Trump said marked the start of a “lasting harmony,” questions about the present and future for Palestinians and Israelis are growing. Gaza’s immediate needs Palestinians welcomed the relative silence that fell over the enclave after a ceasefire was declared Friday, bringing a halt to the constant hum of drones and exploding bombs.There was only so much to celebrate. Israel has killed close to 70,000 people, according to Palestinian health officials, and most of the buildings in the enclave have been damaged or destroyed. Most of the population is still living without adequate access to food, shelter, care and other vital needs.
