An Israeli military official told Reuters Hamas violated the ceasefire with an attack against Israeli forces in an area under Israeli control.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday ordered the Israeli military to carry out “immediate, powerful” strikes in Gaza after Israel accused Hamas of violating the US-brokered ceasefire deal and staging the discovery of a deceased hostage.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israel Defense Forces to strike Hamas in Gaza following an attack on IDF forces and lying about remains.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday he has ordered the military to launch “powerful strikes” in Gaza, a move that threatens to unravel a fragile U.S.-brokered cease-fire. Netanyahu’s announcement came after Israel accused Hamas of opening fire on its troops in southern Gaza and amid growing tensions over the return of hostage remains.

It comes as Israel says a coffin handed over by Hamas on Monday did not contain the body of another deceased hostage.

Israel has accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire deal by withholding the bodies of the remaining 13 deceased hostages thought to have died during or after the Hamas attack on Oct.
