The Israeli military killed at least 45 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday after it launched airstrikes across the territory in violation of the ceasefire.
The Israeli military reportedly killed at least 45 Palestinians in Gaza on Sunday after it launched attacks across the territory in violation of the ceasefire.
The strikes came after the Israeli government claimed that Hamas had attacked Israeli troops in an Israel-occupied area of southern Gaza.
Hamas denied knowledge of the attacks and said it was committed to upholding the terms of the truce. One official accused Israel of searching for a “pretext” to relaunch its war on the territory.
Meanwhile, the group’s armed wing announced in the afternoon it had located the body of another deceased captive and said it would hand it over to Israel later on Sunday.
This came hours after Hamas handed over another two bodies of deceased Israeli captives on Saturday.
One was identified as Ronen Engel, who was captured from Kibbutz Nir Oz on 7 October 2023. The second was later confirmed to be Thai agricultural worker Sonthaya Oakkharasri.
Gaza Media Office: 97 killed by Israel since ceasefire
A statement posted on Telegram by the Gaza Media Office has said the Israeli army has committed 80 violations since 10 October, killing 97 people and injuring another 230.
The office described the attacks as “flagrant and clear violations of the ceasefire agreement and the principles of international humanitarian law”.
It added that these violations have been documented across all governorates of Gaza without exception.
A senior Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo on Sunday to discuss the implementation of the ceasefire agreement signed earlier this month in Sharm el-Sheikh, even as Israel launched new airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, accusing Hamas of breaking the truce.
In a statement, Hamas said that “a delegation from the leadership of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, headed by Khalil al-Hayya, has arrived in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, to follow up on the implementation of the ceasefire agreement with mediators, factions, and Palestinian forces”.
The agreement, brokered on 9 October under the framework of US President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza, appears increasingly fragile as both sides trade accusations of violations.
Gaza’s civil defence agency and hospitals said a series of Israeli air strikes across the territory killed at least 45 people on Sunday, updating an earlier toll of 33.
The Israeli military said it had struck dozens of Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip, as both Israel and Hamas accused each other of violating the nine-day-old ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump.
“At least 45 people were killed as a result of Israeli air strikes on various areas of the Gaza Strip,” Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for the civil defence agency, which operates as a rescue service under Hamas authority, told AFP.
Four hospitals in Gaza confirmed the death toll to AFP, saying they had received the dead and wounded.
The Israeli military said Sunday it had resumed enforcing a ceasefire in Gaza after carrying out dozens of strikes on Hamas targets earlier in the day.
“In accordance with the directive of the political echelon, and following a series of significant strikes in response to Hamas’ violations, the IDF has begun the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire,” the military said in a statement.
“The IDF will continue to uphold the ceasefire agreement and will respond firmly to any violation of it.”
US Vice President JD Vance has delayed his planned visit to Israel by a day and is now expected to arrive on Tuesday, according to Israel’s public broadcaster.
Axios reported on Saturday, citing Israeli and American officials, that Vance had originally been scheduled to visit on Monday to discuss the ceasefire agreement, which has appeared increasingly fragile following a series of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza today.
The Israeli military said the strikes were launched in response to what it described as “violations” by Hamas, claiming its fighters had fired on Israeli troops. Hamas’s armed wing denied carrying out any such attacks.
Al-Awda Hospital reported that six Palestinians were killed after Israeli forces bombed a tent sheltering displaced people in Abu Salim, west of the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.
Gaza’s civil defence agency said a series of Israeli air strikes across the territory killed at least 33 people on Sunday, updating an earlier toll of 21.
The Israeli military said it had struck dozens of Hamas targets across the Gaza Strip, as both Israel and Hamas accused each other of violating the nine-day-old ceasefire brokered by US President Donald Trump.
Israel attacks dozens of targets in Gaza
In a statement moments ago, the Israeli military said it has attacked dozens of “terror targets” across the Gaza Strip today.
“Among the targets attacked were sites for storing weapons, military infrastructure used by terrorists for terror activities, firing positions, terrorist cells, and additional terror infrastructure,” it wrote on social media.
It claimed that Hamas had committed a “blatant violation” of the ceasefire agreement, referring to earlier reports that Israeli soldiers had come under fire from fighters belonging to the Palestinian group.
Hamas has denied any involvement in the alleged attack and accused the Israeli government of trying to find a pretext to resume its war on Gaza.
Israel has closed its crossing points into Gaza to aid convoys, a security official told AFP on Sunday, accusing Hamas of breaking a truce.
“The transfer of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip has been halted until further notice, following Hamas’s blatant violation of the agreement,” the official said.
Israel has launched dozens of airstrikes across Gaza on Sunday after claiming Hamas forces had attacked Israeli troops in Gaza.
Hamas denied any knowledge of the attack and accused Israel of searching for a pretext to resume the war.
