From my understanding the latest bout began for two reasons. One is COVID and the Israeli side did not allow access to the holy places during Ramadan to Palestinians without a vaccine. The second was the closure of such places after the partial destruction of those places by vandals. As far as I know Hamas gave Israel an ultimatum to open those places and allow access to them. When the time ran out they began firing.
