When it started
The report is dated 27 October 2026, and the strike is described as taking place hours before the truce started. The exact time of the strike and the truce start are not given in the material provided.
How it spread
The details come from a single Guardian live briefing, accessed through a Google News link. The material provided does not include the strike's casualties, damage, or who attacked what, so these are unconfirmed here.
